• 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.

Time to post here again too!

Today we hear the Carillon of Roland Van den Berg. Score is available HERE

This is a wonderful piece - it sounds very much like something you would hear from a late romantic/early 20thC French composer!

Enjoy,

G

This charming little Sortie is over in just 2 minutes... alas, it is one of only 3 pieces Maurice Emmanuel wrote for the organ. One wishes he had written more or longer! Emmanuel was choirmaster at Ste Clotilde and was one of Messiaen's teachers at the Paris Conservatoire.

Enjoy!

A packed 2 minutes for sure with the "sortie. Would make a good concert/recital piece. Thanks for posting. Carllion is rather impressive with alot of pedal work I believe I hear.

as i'm new to this forum, I detected this thread only now.

I'd like to draw your attention to an edition of scores edited 1912 by M. Joubert called Les Maitres Contemporains de l'Orgue.
There are 8 volumes with more than 1700 pages full of fine organ works the composers of which count to the French (and not only) romantic aera.

You'll find some of the composers presented in this thread like Colinet, Delvincourt, Vivet and many more. The books contain also short biographies of the composers (in French).

These scores are offered for free download by the web site free-scores. The link is http://www.free-scores.com/partitions_telecharger.php?partition=8365.

You should check for yourself whether the scores are PD or not in your country.

Have much fun with it.

Great thread! I teach over 20 organ students under the age of 17 so I'm always looking for more music - especially the rare and unusual. And they love toccatas and fanfares. I can never find enough!
Thanks

I hope I'm not repeating things, I haven't read through all 10 pages of this topic, but I think Thierry Escaich's Poems (particlarly "Vers l'esperance") should be on this thread.

Escaich - Poems

Eaux natales - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4J-zYzM-tg&feature=related

Le masque - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFmrHhpBzhw&feature=channel_video_title

Vers l'esperance - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQyOzZ4DxMY&feature=relmfu

Certainly this fits the thread, and I'm pretty sure it's not been posted yet. Originally, I started this post to share my own rare discoveries, but by all means others are welcome to share theirs here as well.

Cheers,

- G
