The organs out by less than a semitone. It's about half a semitone higher than it should be. IT'S OUT OF TUNE.

@quizpubbob I like to convince myself that this organ's faults add extra colour and character to the sound. Most mechanical organs are out of tune in terms of perfect concert pitch, not helped by changing temperatures due to environmental conditions, but (for the most part) this organ is in tune with itself, which is arguably more important. Nevertheless, there was a time when there was no standard tuning and tuning would vary from instrument to instrument and ensemble to ensemble.

[browian01]

@browian01 It is widely believed that the tuning used by Bach was lower (believed to be about a semitone) than what we accept to be be the right pitch today...

From my point of view, when we can hear the pachelbel 8 notes theme, we CAN say that's the Pachelbel Canon. Of course, everybody know the original version, but that music is too famous, and I think that's not very disturbing to call all variations "Pachelbel's canon in D" Good version ^^ I like at 2:47 !!

[browian01]

I 100% agree with what you're saying. Thanks for commenting, and I am glad you like this version!

That's not the Pachelbel-canon!!!!! The best transcription is from Jerry Lenning. It has 6 pages and contents nearly all notes.

[browian01]

Lol... this isn't supposed to be a direct transcription of Pachelbel's Canon, but an arrangement for organ to be used in weddings. That's why it is slightly shorter, and I believe the bits added and taken away suit being played on organ. If I played the parts exactly from the original score it would sound too sparse, as when performed with the original instruments the continuo instrument fills in the harmony.

@browian01 hey quizpubbob, I can't help but wonder who pays for the upkeep on the instrument on which you perform. This is an excellant performance, and a great example of lighting a candle as opposed to cursing the darkness. A lesser muscian would not have attemted this. BRAVO!

Rather robotic, alas

[DasKammergericht]

@quizpubbob Also could benefit from a box of proper stops and instruction in their utility. Otherwise, played well, given the tools at his disposal. Well done overall.

Really interesting organ. I love your reply about the tuning. It's the first time I listen to your work, but I already admire you for the way you replied ;-). Keep up the good work. And the playing was divine also, I wish I could see more of that organ, it seemed to be a very interesting organ.

[squidgetpj92]

what make is this organ? do you know?

[ROMagister]

Really interesting paraphrase (it's farther than just an 'arrangement' of the original) !

Where can I get such sheet ?
