• 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.

An Advent Organ Interlude

Hi Everyone,
Not been on here for a while - lots happening to me, not all good, but in the end I'm winning :)

I've been asked if I'd like to play an Interlude during our Advent service, and wondered if anyone had any suggestions I could tackle ... not overly complicated or too challenging (read modern) for the congregation to listen to ... something a bit more traditional maybe?.

If you have a favourite which can also be found on youtube, it'd make life a lot easier as I could have a listen and then order the music for the one I really like.

Again, apologies for not being on here - but here I am, cap in hand, asking for advice again.

Cheers,
Jonesey.

Hello Jonesey. Good to see you back. Hope your problems have not been too severe. Will be in your neck of the woods after Christmas. Looking forward to it.

Where are you coming to Teddy? ... if it's close to me and I'm around feel free to drop in and I'll show you the console I play if you're interested.
I'm sure it'd be OK for you to have a go as well if you wanted.

I will be staying in Aberdyfi. Its a family get together with my American cousins, one of whom I grew up with there. I would love to come and see you if I get the chance but fear the schedule may be too tight. We will only have four full days plus the nights either side. However I intend to come back down at some point to ride the little trains at which time I will certainly visit if I may

Hi Jonesey,

Great to see you around these parts again .. we missed you :)

An easy interlude is the Pastorale from Messiah. Although a quite simplistic piece, it does capture the attention of the listener.

Hi Krummhorn, Thanks ... I do play that already, so was hoping for something new, and maybe a bit more challenging to play than that.
My trouble is, I play what I know, but don't know many other pieces if that makes any sense?
