Hello everyone!
So , it has been too long, since I recorded the last Bach. The only solution
was to finally record the prelude in G minor from the Well-Tempered Clavier
Book I:
http://juliencoder.de/nama/j_s_bach-g_minor_prelude.ogg
and for the ogg-deficient:
http://juliencoder.de/nama/j_s_bach-g_minor_prelude.mp3
This is done completely with Aeolus as the instrument and Nama as the
recording executor. :-) Thanks to the most Utter Kevin I know for educating me
about organ registrations. and I don't know how to express my gratitude to
Fons for this beautiful instrument. I hope you like it, if that your kind of
music and I'm your kind of player. :-)
Warmly yours
Julien

Yes, it is my kind of music and I enjoyed your playing. I find Aeolus
utterly addictive, once I start playing it I can't escape wanting more
and more of that wonderful sound.

Hello Fritz!
I completely agree. It takes some time for me to startup Aeolus and beign
bulding a registration. But, when I do, I usually want to play all the Bach
pieces I know and then a bit more improvising follows that. :-) Luckily for
us, Aeolus couldn't be forbidden under the BTM or the drugs act, or whatever
the US has. :-)
Post-Organing yours

Nice rendition -- good contrasts by cutting out the 16ft now and then.
Do you have a full-size console with midi pedal board?
Sorry to be pedantic, but it's from Book II, isn't it (BWV 885) ? :)
Again, nicely played, capturing the essence of the piece,.

Hi!
No this is BWV863 from book I! :-) I might have my faults, but missing on
something like that wouldn't be among them. :-) For that I'm much too obsessed
with the little Bach I play now and again. :-)
As to my setp: I only have one keyboard. I played three tracks. Started with
the main manual, which played all the time, both hands. Then I added Manuals
II+II coupled and the pedals after that. Not as I would have liked to do it,
but I'm not too good with two manuals, it somehow confuses me a bit. It's
simply a strange feeling. I never worked with pedals. Well I sat at a church
organ a couple of times, but only used the pedals for some finishing chord
pushing. :-)

Hello M.!
Ashes on me head and beat my my - obviously vacant - head with rubberbats.
It was of course BWV885 from Book II. That comes from being tired and only
thinking of the piece your currently playing, which is from book I. Oh dear,
oh dear, oh dear...
Shamedly yours

Nice recording, love the sound!

Organ registrations are a mystery to me, too. How can I learn about them?
and I don't know how to express

Aeolus impressed even a baroque-aphile friend of mine the first time he
heard it. Thanks, Fons - it is a beautiful instrument!
I hope you like it,
if that your kind of music
Oh, yes!
and I'm your kind of player. :-)
Counting this prelude, I have 9 of your recordings in my collection. I
think that puts you #3 on my list when it comes to the number of LAU
recordings I have ... so must be my kind of player!

Hi David!
Thanks for the praise.
Well about the organ registrations: Trial and error and befriend an
organist. :-)
I suppose there are books about organ registrations, maybe even online. I
don't know.
Kindlyyours

Thanks. My goddaughter is taking organ at college, perhaps she has some
information.
Google found this link:
http://cfac-old.byu.edu/uploads/OrganTutor/organ_registration/index.htm
This PDF is interesting:
http://www.pipe-organ.com/downloads/registration.pdf
Interesting thing one link mentioned: 2 of the Silbermann organs that
Bach had actually played did not have swell pedals.

Try this book:
Organ-Stops and Their Artistic Registration by George Ashdown Audsley
(ISBN: 9780486424231)
This link has some info on how the various foot lengths relate to the
harmonic series etc.:
http://www.lawrencephelps.com/Documents/Articles/Beginner/pipeorgans101.html
There's a stop dictionary at http://www.organstops.org/
Basic crash course:--
The main manual stops are at 8' pitch; it takes an open pipe of 8'
sounding length to produce the C under the bass staff. The main pedal
stops are 16', an octave lower. The pedals are usually, but not always,
coupled to whatever manual is currently in use.
Flue stops:
The main 'organ' sound is the Diapason or Principal; these are either
open pipes (Principal, Octave, Fifteenth) or stopped, with a plug in the
end, sounding softer (Dulciana, Salicional). A stopped pipe sounds an
octave lower than its length would indicate.
Mutation stops and mixtures are also diapason-type, not used by
themselves; mutations are single ranks, sounding one of the harmonic
series other than the octave (Twelfth, Quint, Septime, None, Tierce,
Larigot); mixtures are multi-rank, for adding brightness (Cymbel,
Furniture, Cornet, Sesquialtera).
There are flutey-sounding flue stops (Claribel, Hohlflute, Gedact,
Gemshorn, Suabe), and stringy-sounding flues (Geigen, Gamba, Violone).
Reed stops:
These use reed, usually of brass, to produce the sound; they range from
smooth and quiet (Cornopean, Oboe, Vox Humana) or loud & agressive
(Ophecleide, Posaun, Bombarde, Trumpet).
Couplers etc:
These couple various manuals together, allowing stops from one manual to
be played on another. Sometimes there are octave- and suboctave-couplers.
E.g. in Aeolus, the Great to Pedal coupler is labelled P+1, meaning the
pedals will play the stops drawn on Manual I, as well as its own.
So in Aeolus, a basic organ sound is:
Manual I: Principal 8, Principal 4, Octave 2
Pedal: Subbass 16, P+I
From here, add any or all of Octave 1, Quint 2 2/3, Mixtur; Add or swap
Principal 16 for Subbass on the pedal.

It occured to me, as I was playing the B3, and explaining to someone that it was the

the B3 was built to simulate: the pipe organ. An 18th century total nerdgasm. Knobs!
Butttons! Amplificazione! Big huge sound and tremendous power from just playing one
instrument. Exactly the kind of techno-power we nerds obtain from computers and DSP and
synthesized instruments, the nerds of the 18th century got from playing the pipe organ.
I'm thrilled that I can fit a B3, or a Fender Rhodes suitcase, or even a pipe organ,
in a backpack, and that I can play the equivalent of an entire band from inside a laptop,
and having endless control of sounds from a command line in linux, but could you imagine
the geeky thrill of someone being able to play the equivalent in power and tonal and
dynamic range of an entire orchestra from just sitting at a console of three keyboards and
pedals?
If Bach were alive, he'd be on LAU.
