• 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.

Advance warning so you can start practising to record something!

Scores of 30 voluntaries and one of the opus 10 concertos are available on WIMA with electronic samples/midi of most

http://icking-music-archive.org/ByComposer/Stanley.php

Some also on IMSLP.

Many of the voluntaries and some of his concerti are also on Youtube, you can also find some of his works on the NPOR site played on historic English instruments.

Only one of his Opus 10 concertos, number 4, is on youtube with organ and strings, some others of opus 10 and opus 2 are there in string only arrangements. I've yet to find recordings of any of his oratorios/cantatas, I believe there are scores available, although maybe not complete.

Most of you may have noticed that the John Stanley 300th thread has migrated to the Classical Music area, mainly because I hope to have some of his other works posted such as the trio sonatas and if I can find them for free maybe a cantata, oratorio or parts thereof.

So far the 6 opus 2 concerti for keyboard and strings are linked for free download (until end of January) by kind permission of the Baroque Music Library; comprising 2 concerti for organ and strings, 2 for harpsichord and strings and 2 for strings with organ or harpsichord continuo. In addition as part of the original CD there is a Voluntary by John Blow.

Should be plenty of Voluntaries posted there, he wrote 30 and quite a few are on Youtube and hopefully some members recordings. So if you see new posts on that thread they may be of organs so worth a look.
