    Re: Questions I have About Pipe Organs



    Channing,




    First, let me suggest that you remove your personal information from the post you made. You can click on the Edit tab to do that. Various search engines pick up this forum, and I'm sure you probably wouldn't like to have your personal information picked up and sold. Now to answer your questions (at least some of them).




    To see a pipe organ's pipes while it's played, I'd suggest Longwood Gardens just outside Philadelphia (http://www.longwoodgardens.org/Organ...1_3_2_1_5.html) &(http://organforum.com/photos/myorgan...ture85953.aspx).While nothing terribly interesting happens while the pipes are being played, the pipe chambers (5 or 6 of them) all have windows so you can see inside. Yes, the organ does have chimes--as do many pipe organs (including mine).




    I can't say I've played any of the pieces you mentioned on the pipe organ, I have played a baroque-style arrangement ofThree Blind Mice on pipe organ for the prelude of a church service--when I was young and foolish [;)]




    While Stairway to Heaven was written for guitar, its composer must've copied Bach's technique (fairly common in the baroque era) of using the descending chromatic scale to indicate death--the way to Heaven. Played properly on a guitar with the broken chords above the descending bass line, it is quite effective, and possibly would be effective on the organ.




    I doubt many of the pieces you have listed have been played on a pipe organ in a church, because many are antithetical to church's beliefs (i.e. Come on, baby, light my fire, etc.). Of the church pieces, you may find the occasional organist has used them forChildren's Sunday music or something like that.




    You're more likely to find that the pieces you have listed would be played on a theatre pipe organ and/or in an auditorium on a pipe organ (i.e. Atlantic City). Another consideration would be the tempo of the pieces. Since chimes tend to have a long decay time, pieces like Do Lord, or Give Me Oil in My Lamp may not be especially suited for chimes.




    Sorry I couldn't be of more help.




    Michael




    P.S. No need to cross-post to the theatre or Hammond group. They will pick up your post on the Forum anyway.

    Way too many organs to list, but I do have 5 Allens:
    • MOS-2 Model 505-B / ADC-4300-DK / ADC-5400 / ADC-6000 (Symphony) / ADC-8000DKC
