• Welcome to the Pipe Organ Forum! This is a part of the open community Magle International Music Forums focused on pipe organs (also known as "church organs"), organists, organ music and related topics.

    This forum is intended to be a friendly place where technically advanced organists and beginners (or even non-organists) can feel comfortable having discussions and asking questions. We learn by reading and asking questions, and it is hoped that the beginners (or non-organists) will feel free to ask even the simplest questions, and that the more advanced organists will patiently answer these questions. On the other hand, we encourage complex, technical discussions of technique, music, organ-building, etc. The opinions and observations of a diverse group of people from around the world should prove to be interesting and stimulating to all of us.

    As pipe organ discussions can sometimes become lively, it should be pointed out that this is an open forum. Statements made here are the opinion of the poster, and not necessarily that of the forum itself, its administrator, or its moderators.

    In order to post a new topic - or reply to existing ones - you may join and become a member by clicking on Register New User.

We strive to make this a friendly and informative forum for anyone interested in pipe organs and organ music.

Composition in reverse of "Toccata and Fugue in d minor"

I found this to be very very interesting and almost alternative music. Is by French composer Jean-Paul Verpeaux whom still composes on virtual instruments and computer due to Parkinsons Disease. I hope you find it as interesting as I did. Looking forward to your opinions ( hint: listen to it more than once and you can really get the feel of it as I did not care for it at first but it grows on you ).:confused:

I think it is a lovely piece, Jean-Paul (musicallis) does some really good music. It is just a shame that he can no longer play the organ.

Thanks Bill for sharing that with us.

Very clever, but I do not yet appreciate its musical value. Perhaps I shall reach such appreciation with repeated hearings.

Excellent! I really enjoyed this piece right from the very first. Jean-Paul's innovative composing style always inspires me. I need to get this piece and add it to my repertoire for a future concert. I performed one of his compositions (Lithanie) at an organ concert this past Sunday afternoon.

Krummhorn - did you record your concert? Can you upload an MP3 so we can all "ooowww and aaahhh" at your expertise?
