• 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.

Hi,

Thought I'd upload a couple of pieces I've been working on recently.
Both recorded with my Zoom H2.

Hope you like them, would love your comments / constructive critisism

Niely done. LIke your gradual cresendo in Nimrod maybe a little jumpy in the last section:but is hard to make a smooth transition depending on available stops/ranks at that point of the piece. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the comments Bill, I appreciate them.
I agree it is jumpy coming down in Nimrod - I'm using a combination of thumb pistons and foot pistons to try and get a descrecendo and I'm concious that it doesn't sound smooth.

The difficulty is that the chords are using both hands, and there's peddaling and the swell pedal to control - makes for a jumpy transition between pedals and foot pistons, and unfortunately that is showing in the recording.

Oh well, more practice!!!!!

Thank you Jonesy I really enjoyed that. I have a soft spot for Elgar and Nimrod especially. A young Ken Russell made a film about his life for the Monitor programme and then a couple of years ago did a follow up. Fascinating stuff.
