I am creating a MIDI file of the attached piece. I need help interpreting some things. This is pretty basic stuff for a seasoned organist but I am not clear on which notes are played on which manuals and pedals. Please help! At the beginning, I think the treble clef notes are on the choir...

I am looking for a simple piece in binary form where the first part is relatively slow & soft while the second is relatively fast & loud. However, the piece cannot be difficult. I need to arrange it for an ensemble with some soft instruments (3 flutes & 3 violins) & some loud ones (3 trumpets...

The music from the 1942 film "King's Row" (strring Ronald Reagan) is excellent. I heard the main theme at a symphony orchestra POPS concert and was very impressed by it. I cannot find the sheet music. Does anyone have any information on where it's available?

I am finding it very difficult to transition from piano to organ. I've played piano for 55 years (so I can't claim to be 39!) and started playing organ about five months ago. At the time I considered it both an exciting challenge and a daunting endeavor. At the suggestion of someone on this...

I am finding very little information anywhere on how stops on an Allen organ are controlled via MIDI messages. The model is MDS-50. It is supposed to be fully MIDI capable but there does not seem to be a MIDI implementation guide available for it from the manufacturer or installer. I hope to...

I have had three organ lessons so far (using the Gleason method) and am frustrated that my fingers will NOT do what they're supposed to. I'm on the early exercises and having trouble getting legato with some digits and half-value notes with others. How is this supposed to work? I spent nearly...

Does anyone have experience running an Allen MDS-50S (or any similar Allen organ) using MIDI? I have lots of MIDI experience with synthesizers, digital pianos, sound modules and even some soft synths using Sonar on a computer but this will be a new venture for me. My church is soon to have use...

I am hoping this forum may be helpful as I am new to organ playing. My church is small and always rents its meeting facilities. We are moving into a new hall soon -- a church that happens to have an Allen MDS-50 organ. I am a pianist & will have much to learn, training feet to do what hands...
