To encourage and support performing organists worldwide I'd like to propose a competition. One of my favorite pieces of organ literature is the Poulenc organ concerto. I think it would be great to have this piece used as a demo for the upcoming Skinner organ set! So, I thought it would be good fun to open up a competition to those that already know or would like to learn the piece. The prize would be a free copy of the Mt. Carmel Skinner organ samples and the demo would be used on our website.
The basic rule is that you must perform the organ part live recorded as MIDI data and sequence the orchestra part to fit. I would then use the data to create the audio files with samples from the Skinner organ and the Miroslav Orchestral library.
Granted, it is difficult to perform not playing on the intended instrument, but this is part of the competition! I'm estimating that the first version of the Skinner (HW 1.2) will be ready in August, so this gives some time for those interested to begin practicing and sequencing!
If you are interested in this idea, please send me an email for more details. As the completion date for the Skinner nears I'll post a deadline for the files to be emailed to me.
