Goofyg27 6,162 July 9, 2015 Share July 9, 2015 Has anyone heard of the musical instrument called the organ. It is similar to the piano except it has a pedal board while the pianos don't. I have a organ at my house and I love to play it quite a bit to be honest. It drives my mom crazy because she can hear it up to her office where she works. But I am planning to get a new one in the future that will have a headphones jack. I love to play church songs on my organ most of the time, but I will play ballpark music quite often as well. Once in a while, I try to play rock songs that I have heard before. :lol: :lol: :) :) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy + Angel + Rain 11,302 July 9, 2015 Share July 9, 2015 My favorite piece of music was composed for organ: 4 "It uses the faculty of what you call imagination. But that does not mean making things up. It is a form of seeing." - from "The Amber Spyglass" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odyssey 5,716 July 9, 2015 Share July 9, 2015 @goofyg65, I have moved your topic to General Discussion. The Music section from Creative Resources is meant for sharing advice for aspiring artists, while General Discussion is meant for overall discussion about anything non-MLP related, or in this case, organ music. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odyssey 5,716 July 9, 2015 Share July 9, 2015 Where is general doscussion It can be found in this link. https://mlpforums.com/forum/9-general-discussion/ If you want to look for it without the link, go to the front page and scroll down till you find a tab called Beyond Equestria. It is below the Roleplaying section and the Art section. ----- As for my opinion on organ music, I like it. To me it conveys a wide range of feelings, whether it be terror or excitement. I don't have many songs that use the organ, but I still enjoy listening to it regardless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pastel 7,630 July 9, 2015 Share July 9, 2015 I love the organ, perhaps my favorite instrument. But seriously: 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I used to be a stranger 7,993 July 9, 2015 Share July 9, 2015 I love the Organ because of the huge range of sound it can make. It was a synthesizer before synthesizers existed! This is one of my favorites as well, especially because of how the piece makes use of the fact that organs can still make sound even with extremely low pressure in their pipes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcyHaze 594 July 9, 2015 Share July 9, 2015 I love Bach. My favorite piece is ode to joy Isn't that Beethoven? I lvoe the gothic pieces when played on an organ...Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor was already posted, so I shall post a weird, 1970's piece by musician Rick Wakeman. Organ, synths and drums. 1 I hope some people get the joke ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Envy 6,167 July 9, 2015 Share July 9, 2015 Since we're posting all of the popular ones, we can't forget this one!: It's my favorite, actually. Fugues are undeniably awesome. 2 Everything needs more woodwind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Golden Lotus 166 July 9, 2015 Share July 9, 2015 I think it especially sounds good when Aviators uses it. Take for instance Detruire. And Bittersweet. And who could forget Ashes II? Lovely. Sound Of The Aviators Check him out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Music 3,411 July 11, 2015 Share July 11, 2015 (edited) I sure as heck love organ music ever since I was a toddler. I love the organ instrument and organ music that I even decided to have my OC's Cutie Mark to be a principle pipe from a pipe organ. Two of my favourites are these: I mostly like the Fantasia part of this piece: This organ solo in 13:45 to 17:34 is still one of my most favourites even though it is not well known. More info about where and when this was from will be here.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dW9vL9GEmkU Edited July 11, 2015 by Jonny Music 1 My Profile LinkedIn Profile Main YouTube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hocus Pocus 636 July 11, 2015 Share July 11, 2015 I've already decided that if I ever get rich enough to own a mansion, I'm putting a Grand organ in it and playing evil music whenever it storms. I'll position the organ towards the front so anybody driving by can hear it coming from my house.... I'm a little messed up XD 2 ~Hocus Pocus Ya weni mareh mirekyarahireJuri yu mirekerason Kire hyari yoriherahe nyuraheraNunnyura unera yurawera nihmerani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goofyg27 6,162 July 11, 2015 Author Share July 11, 2015 Thanki you Johny Music, I have loved the organ since estimated at early 2012-2013 era. It so seems that we now both share that interest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Music 3,411 July 11, 2015 Share July 11, 2015 Wow, I didn't know you loved that instrument since you were a little kid. Eeyup. It's a true story. I'd love to own my own home organ as soon as I get my own place to live. I've already decided that if I ever get rich enough to own a mansion, I'm putting a Grand organ in it and playing evil music whenever it storms. I'll position the organ towards the front so anybody driving by can hear it coming from my house.... I'm a little messed up XD I'd love to practice and play many kind of songs on the organ, not only classical pipe organ, christian hymns, etc. But also video game music, fan-made renditions of Pop Culture songs from TV Shows like MLP (of course), etc. 1 My Profile LinkedIn Profile Main YouTube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goofyg27 6,162 July 11, 2015 Author Share July 11, 2015 Oh yeah, I do that on my current organ now. I have started using sound recorder, a recording application on my computer to record my organ music. My first official recording on there was forty five minutes exactly. I love to practice ode to joy on my organ a lot and it makes me feel happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewookie5 11 July 11, 2015 Share July 11, 2015 Love organ instrumentals of music from the modern era. Hockey & Baseball games are my primary cause of this and to this day when I go to churches with organs I imagine myself taking a face-off for whatever reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZiggWheelsManning 10,354 May 12, 2021 Share May 12, 2021 There is an organ in lots of churches. An organ villain exists in the Beauty and the Beast Christmas movie 1 Special thanks to Emerald Heart for the banner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An organ villain exists in the Beauty and the Beast Christmas movie Indeed. I'm well aware of that myself as a former church organist. And yes, I'm aware of the organ villain in that film, even if I haven't watched the film before. The organ doesn't always have to be known for being a scary sounding instrument when the fact of the matter is that due to the versatility of it, many different atmospheric tones are possible.
