• 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.

I did a spot of listening to Pachelbel recently and was amazed by how expressive his music is. It really 'reached' me.

This is lovely!
I always like to stop and listen if it is being played in the shopping mall, especially by students, I drop some money in their open violin cases.

In the video, the younger man wearing sunglasses is my violin teacher - 'Fiddle Guru'. :)
This was a few years ago, before he got married - he's cut his hair now, much to his wife's chagrin.

I didn't know anything of Pachelbel's except the Canon, but I think his masterpiece is the Hexachordum Apollinis - I just love its thoughtful streamlined melodies.

[h=1]Pachelbel - Ricercar in C Major[/h]
I've always wondered what a 'ricercar' is and how you pronounce it.
Apparently, it's 'an elaborate contrapuntal instrumental composition in fugal or canonic style, typically of the 16th to 18th centuries.'
And it's pronounced 'reecher-car'.
