Hello,
Slight tangent, but what about other countries - e.g. Germany, France, Netherlands, USA? What pedalboard layout would you expect to find on new instruments in these countries? Do they have national standards?Speaking for Germany, almost all new organs have a straight/concave pedal board.
And, yes, there is a national standard, called "Orgelspieltischnormen" (organ console standards), revised in 2000.

Hello,
Could somebody possibly remind me... What is the name of the album which contains the Grayston Ives Intrada (in E flat)?I suppose it is published by Banks music publication in a collection called The modern organist.

Would you know if anyone has for sale / knows where I can obtain a copy of David Junchen's masterly work of literature and research "The Encyclopedia of the American Theatre Organ Volume TWO"
Hello,
I don't know if this helps but you find the book at choosebooks.com.

In a couple of weeks, for harvest, our choir is doing Haydns' The Heavens are Telling. Whilst I can play the Novello edition reasonably Ok on the piano, i'm finding it difficult to transfer it onto the organ, with a convincing performance. Is there another edition of the score more suitable for the organ? I saw a Mayhew edition once, but I wasn't necessarily looking for anything simpler!
Hello,
there is an edition of a genuine organ arrangement from Breitkopf & Härtel, ISMN M-004-30000-8, OB 539 (scroll down).
I don't know if it is simpler.

Hello,
there are two collections of carillons I know of. One from the Dr. Butz Verlag, named "Carillons in der Orgelmusik". You find there the follwing pieces explicitely named Carillon and not in your list:
Brosset, Jules - Carillon
Boulay, Joséphine - Petit Carillon
Claussmann, Aloys - Carillon
Couperin, Louis - Carillon
Doumergue, Abbé Etienne - Entrée-Carillon
Dubois, Théodore - Entrée en forme de Carillon
Goodhart, Arthur Murray - Carillon
Guéniffey, Maxence - Carillon bref
Guittard, Lucien - Carillon
Mignan, Edouard - Carillon
Pineau, Charles - Marche sur un thème de carillon
Renard, Georges - Carillon
Reuchsel, Amédée - Carillon
Tritant, Gustave - Carillon
Vierne, René - Carillon
Willscher, Andreas - Petit Carillon
The second came from Kevin Mayhew "carillon, a chime of organ music" with the following explicite carillon pieces:
Higgins, Michael - Carillon
Wright, Andrew - Carillon (Easter morning)
Jordan, John - St Andrew of Crete's carillon

Isn't it included in the Koopman edition of the Bb Sortie? The one with the delicious editorial comment to the effect that "these works are not forgotten masterpieces...indeed this could be said of the whole of this composer's output"
Hello,
yes, you find the two pieces and the delicious preface in volume 30 of incognita organo, edited by Ewald Kooiman and published by Harmonia Uitgave, Hilversum.

Does anybody play this?

By the way, it is op. 166

Hello,
Priory has a recording of the complete organ works of Sir Hubert Parry, played at Durham Cathedral by James Lancelot.
Does anyone know if there are any recordings available? I learned it originally with strings and celestes as an accompaniment to the chorale - which appears as a tenor solo. But that seems kind of dull and unimaginative.
Noting what Nigel Allcoat said in another thread about swell box use, the copy marks crescendos and diminuendos but no instructions to add or subtract stops. So are the changes in dynamic range brought about by use of the swell box, or are stops to be added or subtracted along the way?
Lancelot does not add or subtract stops, he uses the swell box. The registration, as I hear it from the CD: one of the many Diapasons for the solo (?) and a string-fluty combination for the Sw (?). No celeste.

So, after a lot of trawling around on the internet for good deals, we're off to Leipzig in a couple of weeks for a short and highly musical break. Never been before, so it's something of a journey into the unknown. Visits to the Thomaskirche and Nicolaikirche are obvious, but I'm sure there are plenty of hidden jewels in the city too. Have you been? What did you find compelling? Hints and tips gratefully received...
Never been in Leipzig? You should visit Auerbachs Keller, known from Goethe's Faust.

I’m trying to track down the publishers and where to obtain the scores for the following pieces by Jacques-Nicolas Lemmens:
Prélude à 5 parties (Grave) in E flat major
Cantabile (Allegretto) in B minor
Hello,
yes, the Prélude à 5 parties (Grave) in E flat major is from Lemmen's Organ school.
One source is "Liber Organi: Selected pieces of the romantic period, Band 14", edited by Hermann J. Busch at Schott, ED 7509.
Cheers

Thanks so far, keep them coming.
The following piece is a nice ballet music, which reminds one of Tchaikovsky:
Carsten Klomp: Großer Gott, wir loben dich; a la russe
It is contained in: Orgel-Choralspiele, edited by Strube Verlag and can be purchased at Bodensee Musikversand.

... Karg-Elert: Valse Mignonne ...
Hello,
the Valse mignonne op. 142 is very good and would be my favourite.
What's about John Ireland's Cavatina? I think it is half the way to light music.

Per Henderson, these nine toccatas and fugues were published by Belwin Mills. Does anyone have any suggestions about where I might get this publication, please? The usual on-line catalogues don't mention it.
Hello Malcolm,
I don't know the Belwin Mills edition.
One other source is Carus. Sorry, prices in Euro.

... Healey Willan's Epilogue in d Minor? It is from 1908.
Pipedreams is celebrating Canada and they play the Willan despite the fact that he wrote it before he went to Canada and the piece is English to the core.

Is that the one on 'St Theophilus'?
Hello,
the Epilogue in D minor is not based upon an hymn tune. And, I have to stand corrected, one source says that it is from 1909, not 1908, edited by Novello, reissued by Eagan, USA in 1979. The Epilogue on St. Theodulph is from 1956.
One other peace of Healey Willan from 1909 is the Prelude and Fugue in B minor.

I don't know that one, but if anyone wants a piece by Camilleri that is actually playable, I can recommend his Wine of Peace. I found it recently in some boxes of music that Michael Farley was turning out. Really atmospheric and really simple - anyone could play it. Needless to say it's out of print.
Hello,
Charles Camilleri died January, 3rd 2009.
My standard internet shop says, that Wine of Peace and Invocation to the creator is in stock.

Having found my copy to make a p/c for VA above, I have spotted the original price label. I got it through Belwin Mills in 1979 - and it cost a grand total £1.15 then!
Well, my copy dates from July 2000. The label says $3,50, I paid DM 14 ~ 7€.

I'd not come across this before - does anyone else know it?
Hello,
yes, I know it. It is contained in "Organ Music of John Ireland" edited by Robert Gower and published by Novello, Cat. No. 01 0183

This is a fun piece - does anyone know where I can get the score? Thanks.
Hello Peter,
if you don't find it in England, then check out Bodensee Musikversand. He has three Sinfonias from Padre Davide da Bergamo.

I'm looking for some material for my next cello and organ recital and wouldn't mind including something lighter like Joseph Jongen's Humoresque Op 92., however, I've drawn a complete blank on locating a score for this. Can anyone point me in the right direction? It has been recorded a number of times, but published?
Hello,
check out the site of the Belgian Documentation Centre for Contemporary Music. The Catalogue of Chamber Music lists the Humoresque.

Hello,
some time ago there was a thread about the restored organ of Southampton Guildhall.
I would like to know if the example 5 from the recordings is a written piece? And if so, were can I get a copy of this piece? I tried Peter Hammond but he could not help me. So I am trying my luck here and would appreciate any help.
Cheers

Hello again,
the following link presents the genealogy of the Mauracher family
http://orgeln.musikland-tirol.at/ob/Mauracher-Familie.html
It says that Johann Nepomuk Carl was the son of Karl, not the grandson.
Matthäus Mauracher was famous for his Philomela, a somewhat stringy flute.
