I'll grant you the harps. But electric guitars?

Besides, Bach played organ, Bach was Lutheran, ergo the official Lutheran instrument of choice is the pipe organ. And we know that if it's Lutheran, it's God-ordained.

Paul Molitor played baseball, Paul Molitor is a Lutheran, ergo baseball is the official sport of heaven...

Thanks, Mel. I've been wondering about that.

Mel I allmost want to reframe from mentioning this because it's vague but I have this organ solo running around in my head and I think......It's "Piece Heroique" by Cesar Franke but I'm not sure if that's the one. It has a very up tempo beat with finger exercises like Bach but of course it's more modern. Also has some good footwork developement. It's very bombastice and...........anyway I just wish I knew if that was the one I was looking for. I neeed to learn it before I get too old and my fingers don't work and I can't coordinate with my feet

I have a slow internet connection but I'd like to at least hear an excerpt from somewhere on the net and see if that's the one.

 

[Melethiel]

There's plenty of uptempo pieces with intricate fingerwork in a modern style.

If it IS Franck though, I can't help you...I'm not big on the Romantic French school.

 

[C.F.W. Walther]

It sounds more like "Toccata" by Gigout. I'm big on the french like Saint Saens to.

My favorite music ever is bach's chorales. Bach chorales

Jay - nah, but I couldn't find any shoes that match with my costume.

Scaredy cat! Don't you know shoes are evil?


...besides, bare feet look better with that outfit anyway.

Paul Molitor played baseball, Paul Molitor is a Lutheran, ergo baseball is the official sport of heaven...

Now wait a minute... Troy Aikman played football. Troy Aikman is a Lutheran. Ergo, football is the official sport of heaven.

(But I will never concede that God roots for the Cowboys, regardless of that hole in their roof!)

I know bare feet look better with this outfit. That's why I chose them.

Yep. I'm currently working on the variations on O Lamm Gottes. (Okay, I'm SUPPOSED to be, but it's summer and I don't feel like it...

Ahh-----I found it. It's Charles-Marie Widor

Opus 42:1
Symphony for organ No.5.

Found some MP3 clips on the net. I love this song.

Ah that one...I have a friend who's learning it. Crazy pedal line.

Bach's got enough radical pedal stuff. Thank goodness for AGO specifications.

Now I just have to order Widor and start doing some tortuous finger exercises to get back in shape.

 

[Melethiel]

Bach's plenty hard...but Widor's got 2-octave jumps in there. It's enough to sprain something.

LOL

After we move I need to find a good pipe organ to practise on. It's not easy playing classics on a Hammond H-100. Come to think of it, Jan and I are moving to Utah sometime in the future. Maybe the mormans will let me practise on the organ in the tabernacle....LOL.

Actually I played that organ some 45 years ago. My dad just asked the tour guide if I could and he said yes. He just warned me not to play both banks of 64ft pedals because they would set up a vibration that would bring down the tabernacle. Should have done it anyway. Might have slowed them down a bit.

I don't know, Jay... Tom Landry was a Lutheran, too...

What's the point of having 64' pedals if you can't play them? Silly architects...

You can play the 64ft pipes but there are two ranks and you can't play both at same time. In other words two 64ft stops on the organ can't be played simultaneously.

oh, oh...


...they're on to me...

 

[ILoveYeshua]

What would Peter do if called?

apparently jump out of a boat and swim to Jesus! more than twice, right? first when he was called, second when he walked on the water and then third when Jesus had rose from the dead.
