• 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.

We strive to make this a friendly and informative forum for anyone interested in pipe organs and organ music.

Albinoni's Adagio n°2 in G major

musicalis

Member
I used to play the famous adagio like that, for fun, many years ago when I was a younger organist. I played like this, even for a wedding. Some people enjoyed and waited downstair the tribune to speak with me, but most did not noticed the difference (included my own wife) .

Yesterday and today, I have taken the time to record it with my virtual organ (MOLLER 370).
So, you are invited to listen to this special organ version and I'll appreciate your comments.


ADAGIO in G major !!!

Very clever; I just hope Albinoni isn't listening.
But I'm curious to know: At what point in the wedding ceremony did you play this piece?

I played this music at the end of the mass, while all present people in the church went two by two in the sacristy to sign the register. It lasted for a very long time
