Organ building and maintenance / Dutch organ consoles
Last post by revtonynewnham - June 03, 2020, 09:49:50 AM
Hi

I've been watching live streamed concerts by a couple of Dutch organists.  I've noticed a number of organs have some of the stops positioned above the console - just wondering about the logic behind that.

Every Blessing

Organ Music and Repertoire / Music for a church in lockdown
Last post by revtonynewnham - May 24, 2020, 09:43:55 AM
Hi

Wolston Baptist Church, where I play regularly, is closed due to the Coronavirus epidemic.  I've been recording some music (chosen by our minister, or anyone else (including me a couple of times!) who has put the worship material together.  Due to the age & lack of computer knowledge the church leaders decided to circulate this in printed & e-mail form.  The e-mail recipients get links to my recordings to sing along to if they wish.  All the recordings are available on my You Tube channel.  https://www.youtube.com/user/revtonynewnham

Every Blessing

Hi, there are many things to worry about nowadays,
but this should certainly I think be one of them !
I guess the phrase " don't take anything for granted would apply "
on the Oragn related front, I still haven't got a basic practice Organ working.

This, too was on ebay.  Not sure if it sold or the listing ended.  It's in Totnes, in Devon.

I remember years ago seeing a video about a performance at the Melbourne town hall where someone played the pipe organ using a program called Kinect that allows you to create music through conducting.

Hi

I see that Rachel Mahone (DoM elect of Coventry Cathedral) is on the Inside Music show on BBC Radio 3, 1:00 p.m. today.

I heard Rachel in concert a few weeks ago - should be an interesting programme.
