Hello,
The hymn "Zu Bethlehem geboren" in Cologne Cathedral. Is this a Christmas hymn (could be, judging by the title) or one that can be sung at any time of year?yes, it is a Christmas hymn, and, no, it can't be sung at any time of the year.
The text goes down to the gregorian chant "Puer natus est" which is the introitus of Christmas.

Hello,
Has anyone seen this?There is a wide range of second-hand instruments for sale, from very small house organs, to a four-clavier Walcker, with a very comprehensive stoplist. There are also a few English organs there, including one by Nicholson and another from Vowles.
Andreas Ladach is the greatest german seller of used pipe organs. The 84-stop four-clavier Walcker is from The Liszt Academy of Music Budapest.

Hello,
But........can anyone top this excellenty 'current' piece of Mander-Discussion-type research (I won't repeat what my wife said when she heard about what was going on here at 9.02 last pm!!) and put a name to the music on the console?the key is E flat major, so my guess is Bach BWV 622 "O Mensch bewein dein Sünde groß" from the Orgelbüchlein.

Hello,
I couldn't resist the temptation to rewind the tape tonight, and the organ is clearly the one in the Protestant church.more information about the organ built by Stiehr. The history is typical: Stiehr > Mockers > Roethinger > Schwenkedel > Haerpfer

Hello,
the subtitle на народную узбекскую тему says something like "over a well-known uzbek theme" (über ein bekanntes usbekisches Thema).Thank you very much for that.
I asked my russian colleague and he says that another possible translation is "over an uzbek folk theme" (über ein usbekisches Volksthema).

Hello,
I think I read somewhere that Widor was "Acting" for the whole of his time at St Sulpice. Does anyone know if that's true?from 1870 to 1934 Widor (1844-1937) was organist at St. Sulpice. In 1934 he retired. 64 years ...

Hello,
I have a friend who collects Carillons written for Organ - he's found a staggering number of them.[snip]
I'm sure in my haste I've forgotten a number of them - any one want to add?
one addition

Hello,
Anyway, Mr. Lynn Dobson is one of the not so many (?) organbuilders with an education in art and design. There was a gallery of his organ design sketches on the Dobson website a while ago - pity it's been taken off.there is a site named Drawings & Projects at the Dobson website.

Hello again,
I have just downloaded the free score of 'Nun komm' BWV 629, and find that the LH part is written in the tenor clef. Is this a common practice, perhaps on the continent, or is it an oddity?if you meant BWV 659 then take a look at the autograph of the Achtzehn Leipziger Choräle. There you can see that Bach wrote the work with alto clef.

Hello,

I would have to re-write it all out to be able to play it from this version!I don't know exactly what you have downloaded. BWV 629 is "Erschienen ist der herrlich Tag" from the Orgelbüchlein. Perhaps another score?
Wellknown is the use of tenor and alto clefs in the Griepenkerl-Edition of Bachs organ works published by Edition Peters.

Hello,
The only organ builder I was aware of until now to use trackers made from carbon fibres is Claudius Winterhalter from Germany.I know of two of his organs having carbon trackers (Klosterkirche Alpirsbach and the famous Wieskirche). If I'm correct this solutuion is supposed to be especially good for spaces with increased humidity (?).
Alpirsbach was the first organ of Winterhalter with carbon trackers. The reason was the very wet climate at the medieval monastery church of Alpirsbach. I think he uses it for all his new organs. The organ of Feuerthalen also has carbon trackers. Very nice to play and it sounds marvellous.

Hello,
I searched for Andrews & Forster and found this thread. My info is not about an organ from 1850, but one of 1891.
About 30km away from here (South-West Germany) the firm of Feenstra Orgelrestauratie sets up an organ of Forster & Andrews. The NPOR-Record is J00034 and it will be finished Easter. So I'm very happy in getting such an instrument into reach.

Hello,
Is there a recognised way to give this piece a satisfying ending?Möseler published a version edited by Wolfgang Stockmeier. The last 4 bars (bar 108 2nd beat - 111) are marked and forte. This is what Diane Bish plays.

Hello,
Still I would be curious to know more about this "Dutch tradition". Anyone?I think it is a misunderstanding. Look at organ dispositions written in Dutch and you see that the couplers are all (!) reversed. In Dutch you have a coupler Pedal-Hoofdwerk which means that the Great sounds when you press a pedal key. In German terminology this would be named HW-Ped, in English Gt-Ped an in French G.O.-Ped.
Therefore a disposition written in Dutch wich states a coupler HW-RP means the normal Positive to Great coupler.
Beside this I would like to have both couplers RP-HW and HW-RP. Not becaues of the playing position but because of the usefullness as you stated with playing the accompaniment at the Great and doing the solo with Great and Positive coupled.

Hello,
....Not in France indeed !!!you have not restricted your first statement to France. Moreover, Neewiller-près-Lauterbourg is a little village in France.

Hello,
YES!!!!You are right; nobody will find any Larigot on a manual deprived of Nasard
and tierce in any baroque organ.
oh dear, three exclamation marks. I hope you are joking. In 1767, Ferdinand Stieffell made an organ for Neewiller with the following disposition:
Salicional 8'
Bourdon 8'
Prestant 4'
Flûte 4'
Doublette 2'
Larigot 1 1/3'
Fourniture III

Hello,
nice thread. Thank you for posting about hungarian organs, music and musicians.
To lighten the mood a little, here is an amusing work from Zsolt Gárdonyi, entitled "Mozart changes." Make of it what you will, but it is great fun.Most works of Zsolt Gárdonyi are published by Möseler Verlag (for example the Mozart Changes), the Grand Choeur by Edition Merseburger.
One little addition: Have a look at the organ music of Pikéthy Tibor (1884-1972). Mostly out of print but nice pieces.

Hello,
... organ pipes from paper. Have these ever actually been used in practice? I've come across paper dummies before, but not a speaking rank of such pipes.the following picture shows a portative organ with paper pipes made by a German amateur in 2010.
