• 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.

Nice to see that is possible to play the music of the great Rick Wakeman on the pipe organ :)

Arrangements and transcriptions are by Marco Lo Muscio...

Not only possible, but essential! :D
Nice to see someone else carrying the torch for Rick's earlier stuff and nice to see Marco enjoying it. His rubato moments are not quite to my taste, but he certainly brings out an enthusiastic arrangement. Glad to see "Judas" getting an airing. My wife and I managed a complete performance of that one many years ago. I was on a decent sized 3-manual instrument, plus one of my owns synths next to me for the Moog solos. My wife also played piano and some of the choral parts on a 2nd keyboard - we had a lot of fun with that one.
