• 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.

While some of our resident experts my be familiar with him Canadian organist, harpsichordist and composer Denis Bedard was a new discovery for me. For those who do not know his work here are a couple of samples.

His Toccata played by Diane Bish on the 5 manual, 92 stop organ in the Béla Bartók National Concert Hall, Budapest, Hungary

Lamento from Bedard's Suite for Organ played by John Paradowski on the Goulding and Wood organ of Loyola Chapel ion Chicago
