• 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.

    Many kind regards

These are the results of a project by the (UK) National Pipe Organ Register, I've posted links to a few tracks before, but thought the index would be useful.

The link below is to the home page, click on Sound Archives(HOSA), then "The HOSA Project" - scroll down quite a way and you come to listings of organs by Builder, Organ type (No 0f manuals & compass) & Composer.

http://www.npor.org.uk/

The composer index lists works and the organ it was recorded on, the organ is listed in italics, note the location and scroll back up to the Organ Index and click on the appropriate one and you are taken to the organ page at the list of works click on the Play link for the work you want to hear.

The Play options are for Flash player, if you don't have Flash player there is an option on the Play page to play MP3 without an image of the organ
