• 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.

Pipe Organ at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods

Hi guys and gals,

I haven't posted in some time, but I'm still fascinated by the pipe organ. I haven't even learned to play it yet, heh. Isn't that sad. I still need to work on that. Anyway, I thought you might enjoy this.
I wrote an article for our children's web site at the Sisters of Providence about the pipe organ that is located in the Church of Immaculate Conception. Pictures are included. Let me know what you think.

Nicely done article :up:.

Periodically, the local AGO chapter has a "Pipe Organ Encounter" aimed at the younger players and those interested in learning more about our King of Instruments. In those workshops, the kids are given the opportunity to sit at the console and experience playing for themselves.

You're welcome, Drummer ...

Wish there were sound clips of that organ ... found the wiki page for the church, but it says very little (no specs) about the organ.

Hmmm...I'll have to work on them getting some sound clips of the organ. Great idea!!
What specs would you like to know?

Hi Drummer,

Would be nice to see the stoplist perhaps. I checked Martin Doering's die orgelseite, and this instrument isn't listed there.

Hi Drummer,

I think that is a great article for explaining the pipe organ in a way anyone can understand. I too, would enjoy some sound clips. :)

Thanks greatcyber! :)

Yep, I'm going to work on getting those sound clips. I'm on vacation this week, but plan to get the right people involved when I get back.

@Krummhorn
I'll work on getting the stoplist too. ;)
