I hope to be able to get the organist to let me video some more of his playing? It really is a lovely piece of equipment and a very interesting history too. It has been renovated to its former state with no electrics bought into it. All mechanical, as it was first built, apart from an electric pump.. John. Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today, it's called golf. http://s47.photobucket.com/albums/f180/Jonzjob/?start=all    Report

Now I do like a bit of organ music but not being able to play a proper note myself I only like what I like.  Whether it is a show-off piece or just blooming well played I have no idea, it either pleases me or not. I couldn't get your links to work either John, the second one just Googles back to your posting on the forum. This is my personal favourite but I am quite willing to listen to other pieces and because I am of fickle disposition could change my preference...anyway here's mine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipzR9bhei_o&translated=1 I quite like the example posted by Norman...pity that he chose to be so bloody rude with his initial response though,and I thought I was grumpy. At a guess he probably hasn't worked in a position where diplomacy is an asset.    Report

Weedon, I enjoyed that enormously.  I loved the graphics too:  they remind of pianola music, you know, the paper roll with all the holes in it! So now, how about this very famous piece? http://video.tiscali.it/canali/truveo/1233113066.html    Report

Sorry Sweets my youtube is on go slow again, it stopped 4 times in 23 secs so I shall have to come back to it..cos at my age time is important. Here's an idea.  You play the paper roll with the holes in it and I will do descant with comb and loo paper.    Report

You've picked my favourites too (Bach, Albinoni) I've got the Bach Toccata and Fugue in Dmi transcribed for "easy piano". This is another dramatic one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzd-AdxqNn4 My Dad used to play the organ. edit :don't seem to be able to get the link to work - it's the Widor Toccata. Tricia - used to be PatF.    Report

Try this one Sweet? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhQZvcGaPEo If this one works then there is some kind of problem with me using Chrome? This is on IE8. John.

Untrue of my AVF NormanH. They only welcome white middle class French people on mutation or in retirement (the bulk of the membership) All the other riff-raff including, in fact, especially myself are merely tolerated and dont even receive rappels de cotisations any more in the hope that they might just forget. I did enjoy the Conversation Français classes as they had a real multi-cultural feel to them with new arrivals from Japan, Korea and Ecuador but other than this class where the benevole was really kind and enlightened none of the students  felt accepted at the sein of the organisation and never went to any of the other activities after their first tentative try which is a real shame. You only have to look at the animations regulaires like Bridge, Scrabble, Scrapbooking, Peinture, Café Rencontre, Lecture, Points Comptes etc to see who will feel really at home. Norman you have a way with words just as I have a way with women, its called the wrong way but as aways what you say is not off the mark.    Report

He was a great borrower of material (not only his own!) This one is from Cantata no 140. Wachet auf! (Sleepers wake in English) The tune is used throughout the cantata, but this chorale is a transcription of the 4th section where the tenors sing the tune You can see the choral version here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1rUz0GM-NM and the first section with the tune in the top line here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1-0HOmza2c&feature=related    Report
