• Welcome to the Pipe Organ Forum! This is a part of the open community Magle International Music Forums focused on pipe organs (also known as "church organs"), organists, organ music and related topics.

    This forum is intended to be a friendly place where technically advanced organists and beginners (or even non-organists) can feel comfortable having discussions and asking questions. We learn by reading and asking questions, and it is hoped that the beginners (or non-organists) will feel free to ask even the simplest questions, and that the more advanced organists will patiently answer these questions. On the other hand, we encourage complex, technical discussions of technique, music, organ-building, etc. The opinions and observations of a diverse group of people from around the world should prove to be interesting and stimulating to all of us.

    As pipe organ discussions can sometimes become lively, it should be pointed out that this is an open forum. Statements made here are the opinion of the poster, and not necessarily that of the forum itself, its administrator, or its moderators.

    In order to post a new topic - or reply to existing ones - you may join and become a member by clicking on Register New User. It's completely free and only requires a working email address (in order to confirm your registration - it will never be given away!). We strive to make this a friendly and informative forum for anyone interested in pipe organs and organ music.

Looking for Repertoire Suggestions

Hi All,

I have a recital coming up in late April of this year. I have about a 10-15 minute gap I'm looking to fill. Considering the rest of the program, I'd like something that's lyrical and NOT French, preferably English or American and maybe more contemporary. It would also need to be somewhat substantial since it's for a degree recital, but something not too "heavy" to balance the rest of the program. Below is the current program draft with the slot I'm trying to fill indicated, so you can get an idea of context. Suggestions for a piece or pieces would be appreciated!

Fantasia super: Komm Heiliger Geist, BWV 651 -J.S. Bach
(EMPTY)
Deux Esquisses, Op. 41 - M. Dupré
Scherzo, Op. 2 - M. Duruflé
Sonata Eroïca - J. Jongen

I have a friend who is in the doctorate program who wrote a Toccata which has just been published that might just fit the bill. Let me contact him at University of Oklahoma. Let me check my file for you.....I found it...Take a listen. Tell hin Mr. Bill from South Carolina asked you to contact him regarding using it... Take care and Good Luck..always listen to you on youtube.

Would suggest the Handel Organ Concerto Op. 4 no.5 - available as free download if you just want to look at it. A recording link has already been posted on this forum.
