Commodore de Cavaille-Coll
Hi Lars,
Thank you for your kind words and acknowledgement. I am on this forum to learn all the other facets of music that have *escaped* me, either by commission or omission. If I can help anybody with their questions about music, organs and their construction, or composers then all the merrier since I see my self as a servant to people who are interested in good music. To be a helper and facilitator gives me great pleasure.
Tell me - is that IV/79 Wurlitzer at that restaurant that serves pizza and other goodies? I do appreciate a good size theatre organ. The prodigious bass output that they are capable of really send me.
In closing, I sometimes get a hankering for contemporary organ composers who don't dilly-dally with serial atonality and all that *other* craziness, which sometimes reminds me of nails being dragged across a chalkboard.
I could be rightfully critiqued for being too conservative - so be it - but hey, the repertoire that I do usually gets a good reception. I'm no Virgil Fox or E. Power Biggs or Stephen Tharp for that matter. Just an ardent and fervid lover of organ music and the instrument.
Cheers!
