• 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.

Rachael's organ melody

Hi
Rachael is a young teen who will be very touched by your friedship.
Her uncle and aunt have made this video fo her birthday.
The music I wrote is played first by my virtual Kney organ, then performed by Marlin Nagtegaal on the true Kney organ.
Marlin is the organist with the wounded right hand for who I wrote some musics. but let us come back to Rachael...

That's a beautiful tune, Jean-Paul. It's terribly sad to hear of a young person being struck down with such a terrible illness, at a time when they should be looking to the future. Life is certainly unfair.

Wonderful tune, Jean-Paul. Very beautiful, and to hear both the virtual and actual Kney organs right after another was a special treat too.

My heart goes out to the family of this special young person, and hopefully a remedy will come about so she can lead a full life.

Rachael, the person for whom this music was written, passed away this morning. I think we should all take a moment to remember this beautiful, brave girl and her grieving family.

Rachael completed her journey early this morning, June 15, 2009.

At 1:35am she peacefully took her last breath.

Thanks to all of you for your support during the past weeks.
