How to Play Legato at the Organ
มุมมอง 15K8 ปีที่แล้ว
Playing legato (smoothly) on the organ is more difficult than at the piano. Some of the tools for achieving those beautiful, sustained lines at the organ are introduced.
I'd love to have an adjustable bench like that.
th-cam.com/users/shortsYl29mQ2-gQg this is legato .........
sometimes you can't play legato.. (baroque music/rennaissance) .. and in big cathedrals it can be needed to play non legato at legato music . otherwise the sound will be smeary ... we call that. it it is getting legatissimo then in big cathedrals.
if you can play legato on the organ you can also play legato on the piano. every pianist has to learn te play legato without using the pedals.
What can I do if I tried to set the piston according to instructions and it still doesn't work?
I like using the Cornet V for a solo when introducing a new hymn.
Same, it's a great soft reedy sounding tone
The Rodgers organ at church has a "bass coupler" for those who don't play pedals (such as pianists). I only use it after I had surgery and couldn't use my right foot for a few weeks.
I USE BASS COUPLER IN MY ORGAN
thanks

If you have to learn from videos, instead of getting a proper education, you should not be a musician. Just sayin.
Skinner or casavant?

i want to add an 15 23/27 Mutation stops
i want to add an XIII-XV or VIII-XIII Mixtures stops for the pipe organ!
i want to add an Other Mutation,Examples:1-10/25' or 1 151/152' on this organ
i want to add an oberton on this organ
All very well for you as you are tiny. Heels together for me is over an octave. Teachers in the UK Aus, and Europe teach to keep KNEES together always until for extreme stretches such as double or triple pedalling (see some of the the works of Dupre)
That last tip playing only I and V is great. I never thought about it.
Fantastic!
I have no problem with understanding that the toes should slightly hoover above the keyboard, the issue for me is while moving your feet sideways - there must be some point of PUSHING OF slighty of towards left/right otherwise the feet wouldn't want to move that smoothly sideways or should I a bit lean my whole body towards the direction that the feet wants to follow? Greatly appreciate your comment Maestro.
Thanks for this interesting information 👍 We never stop learning!
Trouble is with so many pistons and memory levels, how is one to remember what is on a particular set?
I suppose you write it down?
Buenas noches srta sukita hermosa, dónde compró ud ése instrumento musical maravilloso?? Favor publicar el precio y lugar del proveedor
Excellent tips!
I'm intrested in the pipe organ and this is the video that I needed
Great advice.
I heels dug in to the pedal board. I am no organist. My old timers never beat the console like they do today.
These videos are not helpful anymore. update them please!
Honesty, you have to be really uneducated on the organ and/or lack common sense to not know about this piston.
That’d be me! Loving all the instructions
@@sandygentry8455 you do not need to be an organist then.
What a sour attitude. We all start in life from a place of not knowing, and we learn as we go. Don't be a gatekeeper. Instead just laugh at the silly dog video or move on. Wishing peace to you, I hope you are well!
Thank you!
I can't seem to move my bench forward because it's not wide enough (It hits against the pedals if I move it forward). This is the original bench that came with the organ. Do I have something configured wrong?
If you need to use your feet to scoot your butt over on the bench, place them on the foot board under the bench. That is partly what it is there for.
"Seated one day at the organ, I was weary and ill-at-ease And my fingers wandered idly Over the noisy keys..." Then I got up, tied my Organmaster shoes comfortably, stretched my legs and drank a cup of coffee with a splash of Jeremiah Weed and cream, went to the bathroom then back to the organ, adjusted the bench and lighting correctly, smiled benevolently and considered just how damn lucky I was, turned the key to start the blowers and set my registrations, then gave this wonderful work "The Lost Chord" my absolute best effort. By the time I reached the final chord, I felt worthy of my presence at that console, and thanked God for his investment of talent in one such as me.
Thank you!
KEEP HEELS TOGETHER and you will consistently play C and G ( a fifth, not a fourth). Harold Gleason Method of Organ Playing
If you listen to what she said, she said to find the C and "COUNT" 4 notes to the left to find G.... not that G "is" a 4th note in the chord.... she said clearly that you are playing the I and V chord. She was just giving a useful explanation to find the G quickly for a beginner organist.
Thank you! I've been guilty of all this trick, but I never knew of the thumb 'glesando'
Same here😅😅
Great video. The soft Organ sounds are really nice. I came here for some research. I've got a new Keyboard. One of it's specialities is imitating different types of Organ, (it has drawbars). The two Pipe Organs on it work in the same way as Hammond; you've got nine pipe lengths, from 16" to 1", that all play the same sound. Then it's a different sound for the two Pipe Organs. Naturally, a real Pipe Organ has a LOT more than nine stops, but I feel the Keyboard's interpretation would be more realistic if there were fewer pipe lengths, but with different sounds.
what keyboard?
@@rxgtv I forgot all about this video! 😂 The keyboard is Nord Electro 6D. I love it to bits! 🙂 There is a keyboard called Nord Stage. (It might be a range of keyboards). One of those is bigger, more expensive, & I'm pretty sure you could create a pipe organ sound that combines both pipe types.
Is this the Rodgers 788L Masterpiece Organ? Because I've seen the demonstration of this organ model by Mark Anderson of Heritage Church Organ company of Utah.
😍😍😍😍
Excellent! Just what I needed. Thanks!!
I died a little when he stepped on the pedals. Never. Step. On. The. Pedals.
That's a LEG BREAKING OFFENSE. DO NOT STEP ON OR STAND ON THE PEDALS. My Instructor cracked my shins with her cane the first time I stepped on them. I never have taken the luxury to do so again, and anyone who defies this rule deserves to have both legs and feet completely broken, and banished from the console and re-broken for a repeat offense.
@KINGDOM of AU I'll tell you EXACTLY why. It's not a matter of how sturdy the pedals appear. There are springs and electrical or mechanical contacts that are connected to them, and these can easily be damaged or become misaligned so that the pedals don't operate their corresponding electrical or mechanical contacts, or in the case of a tracker linkage type organ (pedals and manuals coupled directly to the windchest pipe valves by metal linkage) the linkage can become misaligned, bent or broken. Any of these damages are EXPENSIVE to repair. I know. I do these repairs. Question the post all you want, then call a pipe organ repair person and ask them about it. I consider it a LEG BREAKING OFFENSE.
@@benforsthoffer3978 They are made of hardwood- naturals are usually rock maple, sharps are the same with ebony caps. They are strong, but that ISN'T THE POINT. It's what holds them in place and connects them to the organ itself that is the point of contention. There are springs, rods, electrical and mechanical contacts, or in the case of tracker organs which have metal rods that connect the pedals to the wind chest pipe valves directly (called "linkage") that can be EASILY DAMAGED, BROKEN OR MISALIGNED if the pedals are walked on or stood on. When these things break, they are EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR. Don't step on, walk on or stand on the pedals. My organ instructor rapped my shins with her cane when I inadvertently stepped on them. I NEVER forgot that. Then I apprenticed with an organ repair person and learned firsthand how to perform the repair for this problem. It Is HARD WORK.
Mark Hall I will stop getting on and off the organ that way them. Thanks for your reply.
Me too. My instructor was militant about that, and some other things. One day I inadvertently stepped on the pedals to scoot over, and her cane went across my shins. To this day I remember the sternness of her voice and her admonishment to NEVER DO THAT AGAIN. I found out from other students that I had entered a select fraternity when I did that. One somewhat overweight student had to pay for damage to the organ's pedal contacts when he stood up on them.
LDS hymns ??? really ? damn your not very subtle are you...
What do you mean, pls?
The video is from BRIGHAM YOUNG University. What did you expect??? Sounds like subtlety is the least of your problems.
Great instructional!
Thank you for the instruction, its really valuable
