In case anyone was wondering,this video gives you a pretty good idea what is coming out of the large pipe organ my avitar is playing during the ball http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtXwbM5B31s

I like organ music. It just has its own unique sound.

*nods* I do as well.Especially,since during the period of PBB it was very popular.

I love Strauss. Great choice Foxonian!

Thanks! I felt that this waltz seemed to fit the mood that Vanessa was trying to convey in the drawings she's been doing of the ball.

[Wallstreet]

That right there is some exceptional playing, although I will admit Ive always been more partial to piano myself. I am addicted to a good blues quartet of piano, guitar, bass, and drums.

That really is a great fit Foxonian! Well done.

I have always loved "Romantic Era" (1850-1900) pipe organ music,since it was to me more passionate & expressive then the stuff released during J.S. Bach's time.I have a collection of over 100 recordings of this music.Granted,I usually listen to Heavy Metal music,but I like to think that Romantic Era organ music was the Heavy Metal of it's time.I fact,I recall some old organists books that suggested that certain pieces by Widor,Vierne & Drufle not be played too forcefully,else it might cause ladies to "swoon" or be overcome by excess excitement.

You should play those, then. I'm a big fan of organ music. Though I tend towards the older styles of Bach. I always enjoy his Toccata and Fugue in D Minor. But I suppose everyone knows that piece, if not the name.

You know,I went on a quest to find more types & styles of organ music than Bach because IMO,Taccatta & Fugue in D Minor has been played to death! It's all anyone thinks of when organ music is mentioned and to me,that's a real shame.The organ is cappible of so much more than just that.

[Foxonian]

Here's a good example.It's one of the first pieces I discovered and I play it on every Halloweeen due to the tone of it.Reminds me a lot of Scarlett Blutt as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcsoH7aRIho

Oh, you're right in that is far too heavily played, but I still like it for it's iconic status. But it is an example of the more... formulaic and technical style of the older periods, which I enjoy. I'm not much of a romantic.

Some of the older "Baroque" works are quite good.I just like the later 19th Century stuff.

Three things organs bring to mind. Carnivals, Weddings, and Church. I think what's probably most amazing about organ music is that unlike a piano, the wide variety of sounds you get out of an organ make it its own entire band. There are times in that movie Foxonian, that it seemed like he had an entire section of woodwinds and strings playing along with him.

Well,in a way he did.You see,the instrument he was playing was not a pipe organ in the tradtional sense.It was a "digital sampling" organ.In other words,each note of a large pipe organ is digitally recorded onto a series of computer chips,then relayed to all the keys and stops of the console.The advantage of one of these is you can have an organ that would normally take up the space of a huge cathedral or concertal hall in a space as small as the average living room(you just have to make space for the console and the 18 large Just wish I had the $50,000 US to buy one for my own home.

True, but it's because new technology = longer life expectancy. If I go for all cheap components, my new computer will cost a little money and last a short amount of time. Go for the high end, and it will be awhile before those parts become obsolete. Long-haul, it'll probably get me 5+ years of reliable service, whereas a lower cost one might not even last a year.

[Foxonian]

*nods* very true.Another thing is that since these digital organs are basically computers,they can be "updated" and "re-programmed" as the owner desires without having to spend a lot of money for new instrument.It's otherwise known as "referbushing".

[LabrnMystic]

As long as it doesn't break into a 70s rollerskating disco by the end of the night, the music should be grand. Don't forget that besides that great organ, we do have the guest band entertaining the many couples at the ball.
