• 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.

Recording of Gareth Glyn's "Gwylmabsant" for organ and orchestra

This is an update to a previous thread, in which I (as a composer) was given a great deal of help by forum members in my search for a suitable organ to record a piece with orchestra.

In the end, the work (Gwylmabsant) was recorded in Hoddinott Hall, Cardiff, with soloist Jane Watts playing the hall's electronic organ with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales.

Anybody who wishes to hear the result can hear it as a track on the double CD "Welsh Incident" - more information here: http://www.sainwales.com/en/store/sain/sain-scd-2653

- the site offers short audio extracts of the various tracks, but the clip of Gwylmabsant contains more orchestral intro than organ!- however, single tracks can be downloaded from the same source.

I have to say that I still miss the sound of a true pipe organ in this piece, as in previous public performances of it.
