• 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.

Fugue for left hand and pedals

This fuga in C major, 3 voices, is the last part of a 3-movements French organ suite, written for Marlin N. and scored entirely for pedals and left hand. The Canadian organist Marlin had a serious accident with his right hand where nerves, tendons and muscles were deeply cut, so he had to have corrective surgery. But he’s still playing a lot of things just with pedals and left hand).

You can hear the MP3 if you are interested.

I have enjoyed listening to this : good, competent fugal writing but I do not perceive anything specifically 'French' in its style. I think it sounds more like neo- German baroque/classical. Am I missing something ?

I named it "French suite" simply because I am French. But you have reason, many auditors consider me as a neo-classic and the composer I prefer is Bach.

Thanks for the explanation, musicalis. I look forward to hearing more of your music in this style. For me, both as a musician and organist, Bach is a favourite composer.

Best wishes.
