    Wowowow there's so much out there!! Sadly I've only discovered a few u.u; But i'll keep an eye out for those! I don't want to get behind and learn things wrong, cuz it'll effect when i play harder pieces.

    Contra-- I'll have to look at those sheet musics!! Thanks!

    Some second hand copies of Stainer's Organ method listed by Abebooks.com

    Always a good place to look for out of print books.

    A good place to try for downloadable scores and some sound files, (albeit electronic mostly) so you get an idea of the piece.

    http://icking-music-archive.org/index.php

    Under "Sheet Music downloads" click on "Scores indexed by Composers and editors"

    Select a composer from the long list and you get a list of all scores held in the archive, not always all of a composer's works, but what do you want for free ;-)
    Cheers MIKE.

    My favourite piece of Bach is the Passacaglia & Fugue in C minor, it does not sound easy though (apart from the first few bars) I don't know why it doesn't get played more on the radio.

    On Youtube the Passacaglia and the Fugue seem to be separate tracks as here

    Passacaglia

    Fugue

    I would think the finalé of the fugue would test the pumps on most organs!!
    Cheers MIKE.

    If you want one that is both easy and appropriate to totally blast the place with, try the 'Cathedral' Prelude and Fugue in e minor http://imslp.info/files/imglnks/usim...18-BWV0533.pdf

    Well, some bach pieces are relatively easy, but the same amount of gravity that would be applied to a bigger piece should also be applied to them.
