• 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.

Thank you Nikam for that most enjoyable video. You can see from the console that it is a massive instrument. It is considered to be the largest organ in the world to be located in a religious building. Built in 1911 my M. P. Moller it has four manuals, 874 stops, 293 voices, 23 divisions and approximately 23,500 pipes and is controlled by electro-magnetic action. The estimated weight of the instrument is over 124 tons. The organ is played for more than 30 services each year. during its history there have been only four organists. The Association of Graduates sponsors a series of free public concerts each year. The Academy is located at West Point, New York. The Chapel services are open to the public and guided tours are offered.

I will include a video of Dr. Lee playing the allegro from Reubke's Sonata on the 94th Psalm the Chapel organ.
