Saying Goodbye.
My 1942 Schantz Pipe Organ, which I've restored, rebuilt, played, owned and loved since 1992 has been sold and is on it's way to Texas. I will greatly miss the beautiful, sweet sound of that organ, and the reliability of it's mechanics. It was a pleasure to play and listen to. Just a couple years ago, Mormon Tabernacle Organist Clay Christiansen played it during a visit to our house. He was impressed, remarking that "it is as versatile as an organ many, many times it's size!"
On Sunday, November 11, 2012, at 3:00 p.m., Laura and Brian Ebie are presenting a concert of American Music on Flute and Organ to recognize both Veteran's Day and Thanksgiving.
The concert will be held at the historic Fayette Opera House in Fayette, Ohio. The concert begins at 3:00 p.m.
Brian Ebie's Sheet Music Thought for Today:
Looking for music scores or sheet music? These are great links for downloading FREE music scores in pdf format. Most are searchable by composer, genre, instrument, and other categories. You'll find music from the Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and other style periods, as well as well known composers like Johann Sebastian Bach, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Ludwig van Beethoven. You'll also find lesser known composers among these great sites.
Here are a few ranked according to my preferences. Just click the link:
Below is a link to a video of the Reed Organ Society's fall gathering in Moline, Illinois. Laura and I appear at about 3:40" in the video for a short clip of our performance on the Staanke Pipe Organ in the Butterworth Center.
