• 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.

A nice organ

Here's a link to a very nice organ I'll be playing on October 2, 2005. The organ is at Christ Episcopal church in New Brunswick, New Jersey (USA).

Richards-Fowkes, New Brunswick

It's a truly nice instrument, which is loosely based on Dutch Baroque design, but it's flexible enough to play a wide variety of repertoire. The program I'm playing is this:


Toccata (Aeolian)-----Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck (1562-1621)

Variations on "Unter der Linden gruene"----Sweelinck

_Sonate d'Involatura. . ._----Domenico Zipoli (1688-1726)
All'Elevazione (II, C major)
All'Offertorio (C major)

_Messe pour les Paroisses_----Francois Couperin (1668-1733)
Gloria, 6e Couplet, Tierce en Taille
Benedictus, Chromhorne en Taille
Agnus Dei, 3e Couplet, Dialogue sur les Grands jeux

"Vater unser im Himmelreich" Nr 12, 2--Georg Boehm (1661-1733)

Toccata et Fuga(Dorian) BWV538--Johann Sebastian Bach(1685-1750)


I don't know if anyone reading this is anywhere near New Jersey, but if you are, you'd be welcome to come! There is a Vespers service at 6pm, followed by the organ recital. The church's phone number is (732) 545-6262.

I hope the concert went well! It looks like a great program (even without the Böhm piece), and indeed a nice and interesting organ. Quite "European" in character (from what I can read) if I may say so
