• 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.

postlude repertoire

Hi,
Long time no post in my case - but I've been busy playing nearly every week.
I need to expand my postlude repertoire, maybe add another 5 or 6 to keep things moving along.

I wondered what your favourite, go to postludes are? - I'm not looking for huge learning projects here, but something that will round off a service nicely, but is also not too difficult.

Thanks,

Wow! I've never even heard of "postludes" before, but,
when I was dating a bassoonist who played with the Ottawa Symphony,
and the Ottawa Symphony Orchestra, I was at a new management meeting.
When they were trying to come up with a name for this new winter event,
I suggested a name I came up with when I tried to write a symphony in high school.
"Winterlude", and that's what the Ottawa winter carnival is now called.

Postludes sounds reflective, but a winterlude can lead to into some pure white light.

The complete (public domain) works of Alexandre Guilmant are easily obtained on the IMSLP site as are a host of other composers.
