• 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.

We strive to make this a friendly and informative forum for anyone interested in pipe organs and organ music.

I would pass them on to someone knowledgable, but the sound is extremely quiet, so very difficult to hear.

First one sounds like an English voluntary, could be any of a dozen composers, second could be Bach, difficult to tell with the talking over and the shortness of the extracts.

Have a browse through Youtube for organ music by the following composers for the first piece, John Stanley, William Croft, Maurice Greene, John Blow, Wiliam Boyce, Henry Purcell, Thomas Arne, Jeremiah Clarke, Thomas Tomkins, William Walond, Thomas Roseingrave, not sure if all are featured on Youtube, but they all composed Voluntaries around the 17th/18th centuries.

You may also want to try the WIMA archives for the same composers, there are usually electronic sound versions of works listed, along with scores all downloadable for free. Some works also have files for various notation software applications, if you downlaod the MIDI files you can also load them into most notation software, Finale, Sibelius, Noteworthy etc.

The second work if it is Bach could take a bit longer to search for, again Youtube and WIMA being best places to search.

However you may get lucky and have somebody here on MIMF recognise the works.
