Hmm, would use a 32' flue in the middle section anyway - not (just) for the low B. Why did he write it? didn't the french have ravalement only for the reeds? I would use a 'grand plein jeu' for the middle section, because to me it resembles more to plein-jeu pieces than to the GrandJeux parts in for instance the Marchand GrandDialogue. The final candenza always strikes as me a bit disappointing; the notes going up on the low D and then the trill almost an octave lower. Like someone who speaks more and more agitated and then suddenly gets himself together (like "oh well, why bother ...). Strange, someone?

Titulaire Pierre BARDON very often plays mini recitals on sunday afternoon (about 16.00 if I'm not mistaken). As Pierre said: don't miss it.

This initiative in the Netherlands is not going to re-use the Worcester organ (so it is said). The organisation sets out to have an 'English Cathedralorgan' installed in the Hooglandse kerk in Leiden by 2010, which will not only be the largest English organ in the Netherlands, but also on the European mainland. There's a link to a brochure (pdf) which shows the stoplist.

Maybe they've hired stevebournias as a consultant. Will take some years before he's finished writing the stoplist.

Discussion on organpipes in the House of Lords is over. So let's hurry to a possibly more difficult one: Barker review http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/l...#60509-01_star0 not quite ...

Quite impressive, bearing in mind he's only 18. But he has listened to Cochereau carefully ....

How about Bach's Preludium C-dur BWV 547 (9/8) Nice if you have some chamades

After Cochereau's of course

Dutch radio4 recently played some Bach chorales on the Hauptwerk system (a Silbermann sample), which was quite astonishing to hear. OT. they broadcasted Atlantic City last week - they explained that this organ has a 64' foot stop, of which the largest pipe is 20 meters long and 3 meters wide ?? If they say so .....

Indeed, indeed - but SUN also builds AMD powered systems (those are just pc's) which can also run M$-Windows. Hope this makes your day

Them ?

Just wondering why nobody mentioned Evreux yet ...

Musically a divided pedalboard can be fun - playing it is an entirely different thing.

How about this?

A bit off-topic, but Vierne players may find this worth reading. Look just below 'Selected Articles' for textual corrections by O. Latry on Viernes 24 Pièces de fantaisies in pdf.

No need to: a picture in't that far away.

Do mention that possibly most British of all names 'Lieblich Gedeckt'

Ask Mander Organs - they should know

Shouldn't be much of problem: there isn't any heating there (or is there?), so temperature changes might go slowly. But tuning a regular trumpet can be anoying to the ears, let alone such a 100 inch powered hooter ...

For some time I've been wondering what possibilities currently are possible to replace a barker lever. Goal: build a 4 manual romantic organ, keep the mechanical action, but replace the necessary barker lever (to avoid heavy action) by something 'modern' (electric/digital). Somewhat like the Kerkhoff organ in Bruxelles (mechanic-pneumatic) that Pierre knows all about. It should be fast, slient and feel good when playing. Any thoughts?

A picture of the partyhorns (copyright Kölner StadtAnzeiger). BTW. they seem to be a private donation. Schön, na?

Sorry, wrong button ..

W.rc....r ?

ROFL :P Best I've heard in years ! Actus Trahahahagicus

Happens here (NL) all the time, thanks to the 'advisors/exerts' (who don't have to live/work with it). Just give me (at least) 61/30
