Gabriel Fauré - Sicilienne (Pelléas et Mélisande)

[@zamarioijean4736]

Belle transcription pour orgue de cette œuvre de Gabriel Fauré qui a été aussi organiste à la Madeleine !

[@mdd4567]

Merci pour cette très jolie performance qui montre bien toute la variété de sons que l'orgue peut donner. Une réussite !

This piece always lifts my spirits, and you have played it quite well. Thank you.

Love your choices of registration. And the acoustics of the organ's location come through well.

Very musical interpretation of this well-known piece! - Above all also very clearly written movement for organ. Amazing pedal artistry! Congratulations! - Question: what is this fantastic organ table system - with sills and such stops? - My best wishes and greetings from Vienna! Helmut

Hello Helmut, Thanks for the kind words. This is a Hauptwerk system and it can take many different forms. To save money and space, I bought an Ikea table with wide enough legs to accommodate the pedalboard. I use a touchscreen for the stops, but when I make recordings I use pistons for all of the stop changes and therefore can hide the touchscreen. I hope that this helps you to understand the instrument.

Very lovely ~ thank you! Q: Randall, what device (brand, model) have you used for the toe studs on your HW instrument?

[@RandallMullin]

D Joe Dunlap Hi Joe, I use Rocktron All Access Toe Controllers. They are now called Midi Raider, instead of All Access. They have their own computers on board, so each button can be easily programmed to any program change and channel. They also have multiple banks, so multiple settings of each button are available by pressing the up and down buttons.

Thanks for info! I'll find them on internet. I have 4m&p HW VPO, Denon amp, DefTech, Audiofire 12, speakers, etc. that has sat unassembled, unplayed, since its former owner (Patrick Lane, has KZbin site with him playing it) shipped it to me from DUBAI. I replaced the computer with a MAC 6 core, got new HW Advanced software installed, monitor drivers etc. by Darryl Wood at Classic MIDI. I had bouts of illness, now fully recovered TBTG, and really not a DIY techie guy. I would like to hire an expert to get it all playable, tutor me re HW, & replace any components that may not be optimal. (I live in Peoria IL.) Thanks again! Blessings: Joe+

PS: I now have zero toe studs, no bolsters ~ gobs of thumb pistons, though ~ Am I right that the Rocktron makes sequencer next / previous available? Looks like / sounds like you deployed them as sequencer, my guess.

PPS: I've discovered your very helpful info on line re your HW set up. Gosh. Even __ I __ may learn something!

D Joe Dunlap The toe controllers can have a whole row of “next” or “previous” pistons if you like. Since you tell it what Program Change and Channel to use and there is no limitation to duplicates, you are not restricted by the four instances of “Next” that are found on the standard Hauptwerk setup.
