    1. Welcome to the Mander Organ Builders Forum

       

      Updated 27th August 2020

      F H Browne & Sons ltd is delighted to announce that it has acquired the trading name and intellectual property rights of Mander Organs Ltd. From 1st October 2020 F H Browne (Organ Builders) Ltd will revert to trading under the name Mander Organ Builders for all current and future contracts.
      Both companies are based in South East England, and three of the current FHB employees (including myself) are former employees of Mander Organs, so there are immediate synergies.

      We are delighted to have made this transition and look forward to working with our present and future customers both in the UK and Internationally.

      It is also confirmed that his forum will continue as it is now.

      Stephen Bayley
      Managing Director

      Christmas organ music

      By S_L · Posted

      The Matin Responsory seems to have been flogged to death this Advent. I heard a particularly awful rendition the other day. I'd better not say where from, but i had expected a lot better!! Corrette's Nouveau livre de Noels contains some lovely little, two line, miniatures - and there is a Mass setting for two voices on Christmas themes.

      Thanks for all these tips. And I have managed to buy the Karg-Elert - (which I had never heard of) - from Abe Books so am hoping that will be with me soon. The Rathbergers are printing as I type! I'll come back to this regarding any odd pieces that I play.

      Christmas organ music

      By DaveHarries · Posted

      I have quite a bit of favourite Christmas music. In terms of Choral works I include the Matin Responsory (Palestrina) which I was glad to hear at the Advent Procession in Bristol Cathedral on 1st December. When it comes to organ music Garth Edmundson's toccata on "Vom Himmel hoch" is a big favourite; likewise Messiaen's "La Nativité" suite, JS Bach's prelude on "Wachet Auf" (BWV645) and another of his pieces "Nun komm’ der Heiden Heiland" (BWV661), Cochereau's "Sortie (Messe Dominicale)" and "Toccata 'Marche des Rois'". The last one which immediately springs to mind is Michel Corrette's "Où s'en vont ces gais bergers". Dave

      Someone suggested that the site was dying!! No it isn't - why? Because every so often someone posts a thread such as this and recommends or suggests something that, possibly, none of us have ever heard of or thought about! Many thanks.   And I'll suggest the Lefebure-Wely 'The Catholic Office - 120 little pieces, mostly for two staves, mostly lasting 2 minutes, some a bit sickly but ideal for 'fill in' music if, like me, you're not too good at making it up on the spot!! L'Office Catholique, Op.148 (Lefébure-Wély, Louis James Alfred) - IMSLP
