• 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. It's completely free and only requires a working email address (in order to confirm your registration - it will never be given away!). We strive to make this a friendly and informative forum for anyone interested in pipe organs and organ music.

Ah, yes: the Sept Chorals-Poèmes d'orgue pour les Sept Paroles du Christ. Indeed one of Tournemire's masterworks (though I personally would have an even softer spot for the Sei Fioretti).

Honorable acc,

Yes, I too love the Sei Fioretti. Of course, the Aeolian organ used at Duke University Chapel has some ponderous colours in its ensembles. I prefer Georges Delvallee's recording at St. Sulpice of the Sept Chorales-Poemes.

Cheers,

Hugues Huddlestone, a fellow (but awfully quiet) Magle forum participant plays Cantilène, one of Tournemire's five improvisations: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jPE38K11WU.

Very well done, Hugues! :tiphat:

Hi, dear ACC
Thank you very much for taking an interest in my performance of the "cantilène improvisée" by Charles Tournemire; Jeanne Joulain was sitting near me on the organ bench doing the registration and page turning, it is with a heavy heart that I am writing you these lines since you may know that Jeanne died one week ago, and that Jean Guillou played that very organ at her funeral last friday. She certainly was more than a teacher for me and I shall miss her terribly.
