• 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.

Do you have the complete Bach organ music in your collection? You can pick it up quite cheaply from the States on CD. Problem of course is that you need to print off the pieces when you start to play them ... I bought mine at http://www.cdsheetmusic.com/ and no, I don't work for them, but just like their product. The Bach is excellent. The French organ collection isn't always the most "urtext" apparently.

Thanks, CT64, for that link ...
I've just ordered the Bach - I have had the other two for a number of years, and for my purposes (mainly church music) those editions suffice.

I'm Fairly new to a major liking in classical music (3 months or so) and I really love Bach's work. Is there a CD with a bunch of minor(positioned) Pipe Organ work on it thats certainly worth the buy?

CT - I don't have the complete Bach organ music and the link is very interesting.
So it's a CD then, and you just print the music off? ... shouldn't think that's too much of a problem.

Krummiest - the Bach is so vast, be prepared to be thoroughly overwhelm'd.

CT64,

Just arrived: JS Bach: Complete Works for Organ (CD) on Saturday afternoon - only time today for a quick perusal, but from what I've seen so far ... WOW ... finally, to have The Art of the Fuge as a score ... :up:. Guess I now need to learn Alto Clef for some of the pieces :rolleyes:.

But yes, worth the purchase ... every penny of what I paid, and then some.

Geezo, yes ... I am totally impressed with this ... I was quite elated with the French and Baroque music CD's, but they certainly outdid themselves on this one. I could do a whole year in Bach - in 2010 perhaps to celebrate his 325th birthday.

And, the good thing about my copy of the Bach is that the PDFs aren't locked down, like the French collection was, so I've copied it to my C drive and can take individual pieces from the and save them by their BWV number.

Good idea ... hadn't thought of that, but it does make good sense as those chorales would be lots easier to find.
