Hauptwerk Classical MP3 Files for Download
New Files Added October 25, 2004

 

The musical sounds heard in these classical mp3 files are the result of my using a remarkable virtual pipe organ program by Martin Dyde called Hauptwerk.  My three manual organ's stops come from various selected ranks of three recorded organs: The Casavant Organ of Grace Lutheran Church, Champaign, Illinois, U.S.A., and the Buzard Opus 3 Organ of the University of Illinois, Champaign, Illinois, U.S.A., both from Milan Digital Audio; and the Marcussen Organ of St. Stefanuschurch, Moerdijk, The Netherlands, from Ariaan Hoogendijk.

This combination provides a wonderful, stereo, CD quality pipe organ sound since each and every note of every rank is separately recorded and played back.

I use Cakewalk Professional as my sequencer to play MIDI versions of the music through Hauptwerk.  Hauptwerk itself enables CD quality wave recordings of its output.  These are then converted to mp3 format by Sound Forge, the digital audio manipulation software.
