• 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.

Searching for organ music

Hi JP,

Firstly let me THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for the compositions... I really sounds wonderful... words are not enough to express my thankfulness.

I look at the photos of your meeting... I could see you on photos... I hope you feel better after a rest. I told my wife about your meeting... You really organized a well planned meeting.

I just want to share something with you... the lady who made our wedding cake almost 5 years ago also have Parkinson's... the people at the reception could not believe it when they asked us who made the cake... she even made the cake for all my brother-in-laws weddings afterwards. "God grant us all with different talents despite my illness" she said.

Once again thank you... Just remember, I remember you ALL every day in prayer.
I wait to play the variation...

God bless!

Hi

If you enjoy these variations, you can purchase it as a small book, at Lulu.com, for 7 Euros + postage fees.


Do not click on the picture, it is only a picture.

Yes, I have about 20 organ pieces at very small price at the same publisher.

http://stores.lulu.com/store.php?fAcctID=635019

be careful, all books are not for organ. Organ books are at the bottom of the page.

P.S.
For the postage fees, it is more economic to buy 3 books at the same time. The time between the order and the delivery (for France) is approximately 3 weeks.

I know you guys were talking about a specific piece of music in this thread. But since it is titled "Searching for organ music", I thought I would present my question here.

Do you guys know of a good place on the Internet to go and download organ music? I found and listened to the radio station organlive.com last night and it was wonderful!!
But I was wondering if you guys know a good place to download free organ music?

Hi Drummer,

In a few weeks IMSLP will be back online ... July 1, 2008 @ 12:01 AM, to be more specific. IMSLP has a plethora of PD (Public Domain) scores - lots of organ compositions - it was [and will be again] a great source for PD music, a site which I frequented often.

Another site, The Mutopia Project has about 159 pieces for organ.

There is also this site for JS Bach, again all public domain material.

These PD editions may not be the finest engravings of the masters works, certainly not the Dupré or Schweitzer editions that many of us older organists have in our private collections, but they are useful enough, and the price is right :up:.

I have also purchased organ music from Evensong, which features some selections from one of our own MIMF members, Giwro.

You're welcome, Drummer ... :tiphat:

Forgot one other source CD Sheet Music, where you can purchase a CD containing the complete organ works of JS Bach. That collection will absolutely blow you away - not only can you look at all the compositions, you can also print them as many times as you want for your own personal use. They also have two additional CD's of organ sheet music: Baroque Organ Works, and French Romantic Organ Works.

As it turns out, I now have all three of those CD's ... just acquired the Bach works last month at the recommendation of another MIMF member, Contratrombone64.

Krummiest is spot on about the PDF bach edition, it is fantastic and won't break the bank.
