Do you love pipe organs? If so, "Martin Doering's Pipe Organ Page" is a paradise! However, please come back.



Hi, did you discover this ad in your Google images results? Welcome, then. The pipe organ calendar of the little Publishing House "Bach 4 You" in Southern Germany is one of the most decorative music calendars related to the "Queen of All Music Instruments" when it comes to the style, how these calendars are "constructed". We call them the "European style" pipe organ calendars, and it's decoration only, they are no "tool with a huge grid". You get directly to the publisher's shop with a click here. However: If you prefer this grid in the lower 50 percent of the calendar, to leave notes and birthdays there, we offer such pipe organ calendars, too ... in our "Zazzle" shop.

 

 


Our Pipe Organ Calendars in Two Separate Styles ... What Exactly Is the Difference?

 

A short exciting story about the offer of Bach 4 You, that is probably the only calendar publishing house, that offers music calendars ... and yes, also pipe organ calendars ... in two styles. If you are American, you do know the style how calendars are common in the USA. Just five percent of them are "full-page" style. That is to say, there is no grid in the lower part of the calendar. If you are sure, that is the style you want, please click on the Zazzle button below, that brings you to the section of this gift platform on the internet, where we operate more music gifts shops. However, don't "turn" before you have "met" our European Style calendars a little further below.

 

That is how a music calendar looks like in the "50:50 style" (... only we call it that way). This is how most calendars look like in the USA.

The Pipe Organ Calendar ... And How Everything Began

 

Please scroll down one section if you do not want to be entertained.

 

After my husband's project Bach on Bach became more and more extensive – page after page, website after website – and he wanted to use more and more money for illustrations, we thought about how we could finance our Johann Sebastian Bach Mission. The offer of Bach gifts was obvious. But ... there were still too few Bach fans for it, even all over the world. But the offer of a first music calendar exceeded all expectations.

 

So my husband Peter "invented" an additional 98 music calendars. One of them: the first pipe organ calendar. And already in the first year of its publication it was the winner. So, Bach 4 You, my Calendar Publishing House, decided to offer not only one pipe organ calendar, but a new pipe organ calendar every year.

 

During a vacation in the USA we both presented our offer to our American relatives, Dwight and Michele Bach. And Michele said: "Why would anyone buy a calendar today when everything is so much more efficient electronically?" The decorative aspect didn't matter. So our next goal was to convince all Americans of the beauty of a calendar in the "European style", that is to say full-page and without a grid, as in the calendar above. We wanted to achieve this with countless editorial references on our websites.

 

Time jump: A full two years later we discovered Zazzle. A gift portal on the internet. Artists and creative people design. Zazzle produces. They ship the gifts and they settle up. And from that day on Bach 4 You provides the annual pipe organ calendar and the pipe organ calendars of past years in two styles. Here again is the way to this section at Zazzle.

Pipe Organ Calendars: European Style vs. American Style ... What Is the Difference?

  

The difference is crucial, as the typical European style wall calendar is a full format art work or a poster style wall decoration. Plus, this is what you might not like, as there is no space to put in notes, birthdays, obligations, errands and so on. A major problem however is, that the calendar title page (... for instance via the Google images), does not show the inside split. What do we mean? Check for pipe organ wall calendars on Google – click images – and you get an exciting result. It seems, there are tons of cool, exciting pipe organ wall calendars out there. Which actually is true. Sort of. However ... if you click to Amazon USA and then fill in "pipe organ wall calendar", the result is quite the opposite.

 

You have a music room? A European style composers calendar or a European style pipe organ calendar might upgrade the whole "composition" to perfection. However, a 50:50 calendar with a "nasty" grid would spoil the character of this location.

 

 


Just One Publishing House in the Whole Universe Offers Pipe Organ Wall Calendars on Amazon in the US? Is That Possible? 

 

99 music calendars and only one actual pipe organ wall calendar at "Bach 4 You"? Actually that is not true, as you still may order all those pipe organ wall calendars, which were published since the first one in 2017. However, the pipe organ wall calendars from the past years would today be printed "hot off the press" ... with a current calendrical ... just for you.

 

   

What is the secret behind the strange fact, that there are so many pipe organ wall calendars presented via the Google images research and so few via your investigation on Amazon USA?

 

One thing is sure: Although it seems, there are many folks interested in pipe organ wall calendars, there are many offers on the market with a grid in the USA. But only one pipe organ wall calendar is a full page art work. Why is it so? It is because it doesn't cost a seller one Cent to offer such a work with a grid section. How is that possible? It is possible with "Print on Demand". "Print on Demand" ... that is what you heard about when it's about publishing books. And that is true for calendars, too?

 

Zazzle is the keyword. Zazzle offers such calendars. Creative people and artists provide their artwork or photo collections. So, if you order such a calendar, Zazzle prints one calendar and ships it to your home. For that reason it doesn't matter whether offering a pipe organ wall calendar serves a niche market or a whopping target group ... just five humans or 1.5 billion pipe organs wall calendar lovers. It just doesn't matter. Zazzle prints. Piece by piece. Piece by piece.  And yes, that is why you can buy Bach 4 You pipe organ wall calendars in the grid version, too. Just click to our shop on Zazzle ... here.

 

 


The Ultimate and Cool Difference: The Layout of Both Calendar Styles

 

According to our research there is no music calendar publishing house outside Europe, that offers a layout design, which does not divide every monthly page in two sections. One section is a photo of the organ (... in a pipe organ calendar), the second half is the grid, which shows the days of the week, the day of the month and gives you – with that – the space to write in anniversaries, birthdays or your next appointment at the dentist. Almost all offers – no matter how deep you "dig" – follow the same design pattern. The decorative picture is in the upper half. And that is true for all sizes as well, of course. However, as wall decorations, these "50:50" calendars (... half picture, half grid) are really only good for hanging in the kitchen and not in all other rooms.  Check on the true to scale comparison in the picture below. If you – after that – keep in mind, that the decorative part is only half as large as the complete calendar, that means, that the artwork of the "Bach 4 You" calendar is two times the nice part of usual "50:50" calendar.

 

The title pages of all our pipe organ calendars, as they are common here in Germany, are decorated with a full-fledged motif of a pipe organ and in all cases  The title pages of all our pipe organ calendars, as they are usual here in Germany, are decorated with a full-fledged motif of a pipe organ and in all cases – then, if you order – also the matching current year as lettering. Your ( ! ) ordered calendar – for example, as it looked in 2020 and with the pipe organ motifs inside at that time – "does not then adorn the term "Vol. 4", but just the ( ! ) year date for the appropriate year. So, "Vol. 2" becomes the current year, "Vol. 3" the current year and just ... also from "Vol. 7" – in the distant future – the current year. The brochure calendars (... so the ones with the "tool at the bottom", with the huge grid in the lower half) always remain orderable anyway and they decorate every year ... all together ... basically and always the just "exciting" ( ! ) Year. ✓✓ if you order - also the matching current year as writing. Your ( ! ) ordered calendar – for example as it looked in 2020 – "does not then adorn the term "Vol. 4", but just the ( ! ) year for the appropriate year. Specifically, "Vol. 2" becomes the current year, "Vol. 3" becomes the current year and just ... also from "Vol. 7" – in the distant future – the current year. The brochure calendars (... so the ones with the "huge grid tool at the bottom") always remain orderable anyway, and they decorate every year ... all together ... basically and always the currently "exciting" ( ! ) year.

 

 


Indeed, "Bach 4 You" Offers Its Composers Calendars With a Huge Grid, Too

 

Please click to our shop on Zazzle and meet our pipe organ wall calendar and many composers calendars offer there. If you prefer this calendar as a sort of "tool", to work with and the preferred place for such a pipe organ wall calendar or a composers calendar is in your kitchen or your pantry, then click to our calendars in that style.  Via the link in the first line in this paragraph.

 

It's not only a different calendar style, actually it's a different kind of philosophy, which calendar style you prefer. European style calendars are not designed to put in notes here and there. Calendars, how they are common in the USA and maybe more countries are not designed to only decorate a wall in a room.

 

Caution: The title page of a calendar doesn't tell which kind of wall calendar is inside. This may create a huge disappointment: For those who do want a grid and for those who do not prefer such a tool-like decoration (... perfect for your kitchen). Please allow another link to my shop. Plus here, you get to my Zazzle shop (... my pipe organ wall calendars with grid).

 

That is what you see on Google, when you write the keywords "composers and calendars" in the search bar and then switch to the "images". Take five seconds to be aware of the creative part of the calendar front pages. It's 100 percent full motif of what you see ... that is true for both styles. However, both calendars only seem to provide "the same amount of art inside".

 37


Now please, check on the percentage of the "art portion" on both calendars styles, after you switched from the front page to the calendar pages inside (... on Google). On the left (... European style) the January page is 95 percent artwork. Even the "miniature calendrical section" (... at the bottom), is just showing the day of the week or the day of the month. It is also a part of the general artwork, so to speak. True on the left side. However, on the right motif above, you discover what the most US calendars look like, when you switch from the title page to any monthly page. The decorative part, which is the picture of the pipe organ, the composer, the music design or whatever, is a future mere 50 percent of the whole decoration. Suddenly it's not a cool picture on your wall anymore, but a huge sheet of paper, with a 50 percent grid section below. And yes, you can't leave notes on the left calendar style, not on a European style calendar. Please also note, that the additional "ugly" half part doesn't reduce the expected size, but doubles the overall result, while the "European style" monthly pages are as large as the title page is.

 

It's just the perfect gift for a music lover. Instead of the common bottle of wine or a flower bouquet. The pipe organ wall calendar or any composers calendar, Bach calendar or music calendar, which "Bach 4 You" offers.

 

 


Consider the Size of the Artwork ... And Make It a Whole New Ball Game

 

Does it make sense, to buy a 50:50 style calendar – you know meanwhile, that this is how we call these calendar designs, where the art work is in one half and the calendrical is in the second half of the overall "tool" – so does it make sense, to buy such a 50:50 calendar in a bigger size? Actually not. It's a tool, with a nice attachment and the smallest size – if this is not smaller than a music book – will do.

 

It's a whole different approach, when you consider such a pipe organ wall calendar – yes or a composers wall calendar or a music wall calendar – an art work. Like a decorative picture or a 3D collage. Plus it's a different approach, if you consider such a pipe organ calendar a decoration for your living area, the music room, the bathroom, the guest bathroom, your office, an attorneys' reception area, a doctor's office or a waiting room. In this case, size really does matter. Because every page in such a European style wall calendar is part of the overall art work.

 

If you take this fact in account, a music book size calendar and even the 11 inch x 14.25 inch calendar which is four times of the smallest option is a difference like between day and night, if you compare it to the largest calendar from "Bach 4 You". The decorative part (... of a calendar with huge grid) is 5.5 inches x 7.125 inches, compared to 16.5 inches x 23.4 inches (... European Style).

 

Pipe organ wall calendars and music wall calendars: Learn more about the difference with the following decoration examples, which display several kinds of locations and several sizes of calendars. Just go on reading, it's on this page further down.

 

 


Decoration Examples ... Learn More About European Style Wall Calendars and How They Can Upgrade a Room, a Hall, a Guest Bathroom, an Office Space or a Reception Area

 

A composers calendar in a bathroom, "part one": Check on the difference: A European style calendar, composers calendar or pipe organ calendar is a decoration feature in every room, even in a bathroom. Find out, how that calendar would look like as a 50:50 style version in the next pic ...

 

A composers calendar plus bathroom, "part two": We think, it's a no-no in a nicely decorated bathroom.

 

The pipe organ calendar and a reception area: We even offer matching composers calendars regarding the color. However, a colorful composers calendar would be a perfect counterpart to the black and white general furniture, walls and doors.

 

The pipe organ calendar in a hall ... or a composers calendar. A large empty wall in a hall would be a perfect place for a large art work calendar. It upgrades the space as a European style calendar. A 50:50 style calendar, however, would be a catastrophe there.

 

 


The Best Organ Player of All Time

 

Matching the topic of the pipe organ calendar: So there is a person in Germany who happens to have the same last name as the Thuringian master composer, and who therefore declares his namesake to be the best organist of the past, present and future? 

 

No, actually "this guy" is my husband, and he has researched many entertaining topics about Johann Sebastian Bach and published them on his project website "Bach on Bach". One such interesting topic is "Bach and the Pipe Organ" and a second is that this Bache family (... yes, the " e " after "Bach" is correct, that was the plural of "Bach" back then ) is the largest and most famous musical family in the world. The biggest by far. And by far the most famous, too. But how can you measure such "disciplines"? And by the way, he is indeed a speaker of the Bach family of musicians, and he is related to J.S. Bach.

 

The master on the website "The Pipe Organ Wall Calendar". Learn more about the Thomas Cantor and the Royal Polish and Electoral Saxon court composer at "Bach on Bach". By the way, this Bach memorial is in Weimar, and it is much less impressive than the photo of my husband, Peter.

 

 

There is no question – in the judgment of many, many master organ players today and in the past, starting with Bach's children, to the comments of the best musicians in the world over 250 years, to the comments of young musicians today – that Johann Sebastian Bach was undoubtedly one of the best organ players ever.

 

But how do you know that he ( ! ) was the best organ player of all time and on the whole planet? Here is the clue with a bit of a twinkle in the eye: There are two facts that justify this judgment. First, J.S. Bach is said to have had really big hands, and this enabled him to reach keys at the same time that moderate and even the best pipe organ players could not reach because their hands were just not as big as Bach's.

 

And the ultimate hint: Johann Sebastian Bach is said to have played a pipe organ musical work in which he had to and wanted to play a note, but at that moment had no hand and also no foot "left". So he pressed this key with a little stick which he had in his mouth. This is reported by his son Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach in the Bach Obituary / Necrology. And thus the Royal Polish and Electoral Saxon Court Composer, Music Director and Thomas Cantor Johann Sebastian Bach is indeed – and for all time – the best pipe organ player in the universe.

 

Tadaa. If you add the verdict of the best musicians of all time and from all over the world - about Johann Sebastian Bach - and enhance it by the fact that J.S. Bach was the only musician one who used not only his hands and feet to play the pipe organ, but also a "fifth" option to it, he is certainly the best pipe organ player in the universe and of all time. By the way, the proof is also in the above publication, on page 668 in the second volume.

How Can We Proof, It's the Largest Family of Musicians on the Planet and of All Time ... And Will Remain That Forever?

 

It's really easy to find out the names of the most famous composers on earth. Of course, they are almost all Classical Composers, and they died a long time ago. Today famous we "evaluate" in 50 years. And there are few exceptions: The Beatles, Abba, Michael Jackson are among them. But there are also now living composers of Classical Music, but they are just (.... not yet) as famous as the "old masters". Okay, so you do some research on the internet, or you check out this link on "Bach on Bach". And there they are: Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Verdi, Handel, Tchaikovsky, Wagner. After that, the next league already begins, because Berlioz, Gounod, Schubert, Strauss, by the way, Papa and Son (... II ) ... and Richard, Weber and Liszt are less known than the masters of the first league. You are not at all of this opinion? Then ask students or school kids, children or teenagers to name five of the master composers. And you will find out that I am – probably – right. And right: "To be known and to be famous" is something different in every part of the world. The age of the questioned one plays a big role, too. Let's not hang on to that too much.

 

Okay, we have now found out – with the consideration above – that there is a first discipline to check which are the most famous and greatest families of musicians. It first is about the "light figure" in each family of musicians. And finally it's then about counting musicians in many families. There is a whole page on my husband's website Bach on Bach on this subject, and he was very ambitious to research all these family members. This is where you can get there.

 

So with the search for the respective children and the parents of these icons of music history there is another discipline. Which fame category now applies to the relatives of the master at "place 1"? Let's take Strauss in Austria: The father was as famous as the son, so there are even two masters in this second category of masters in one family. Bach, however, is a member of the "Formula 1 of all composers", and can even come up with four famous sons, two were even more famous than Bach, J.S., at their time ( ! ). Of course – from today's point of view – they played only in the 3rd or 4th or 5th "league", that is, nobody today knows anything at all about their existence at that time. Except hardcore Classical Music fans, of course. However, there were four of them and a fifth son who earned money with music. So, in our competition, are two in the second division "better" than four in the fourth division? Sure they are.

 

Yes? Yes ... of course we are comparing apples and tomatoes here, but if you make it a game – which my husband did – you will find that the number of family members of this Bach family is so overwhelmingly large that all other musical families – then the List / Wagner team or today the Jacksons – have no chance to win "this competition" even rudimentary.

 

However, my husband Peter asks not to take this "tournament" too seriously. Thank you. And you noticed, "apples and oranges" ... that was not clear enough for my husband.

 

Fitting to the pipe organ calendar page on this website: It took us more than five years to find this Johann Sebastian Bach monument in Berlin, which was "lost" after World War II. It was one of the smaller monuments in the trilogy with King Frederick of Prussia as the "main monument". On the postcard above, the Bach monument is almost invisible behind the much larger monument of the Prussian King.

 

The most unknown church where Johann Sebastian Bach played the pipe organ: And why is that so? Because until 2018, the community of Gräfenroda in Thuringia had not yet been officially recognized as a Johann Sebastian Bach location. At that time, J.S. Bach visited the cantor of Gräfenroda, and both had great fun "tracting" the pipe organ in the St. Laurentius Church.

 

What a latest-state-of-the-art J.S. Bach monument. It is located in the Northern Bavarian city of Ansbach, Germany, which actually isn't one of the Bach cities. They just adore the composer there.

 

Make acquaintance with "my husband's world". He photographed the Bach monument in Ansbach for a whole 45 minutes, from all distances, with different backgrounds and foregrounds. And the motif above is the most exciting photo with reference to the background. Believe it or not: Although the residents of this town love Johann Sebastian Bach, there is no reference to him on the house next to his monument. Do you see the word "Bach" behind the monument? Check the next image ...

 

Another view of the J.S. Bach monument in the city of Ansbach. Check the bottom edge of the picture. You will discover there the letters "NSBACH". Add an " A " and you know the second word of the "WÄSCHEHAUS ANSBACH", which was the name of the Clothing Store Ansbach.

 

Johann Sebastian Bach in Ulm Cathedral in Southern Germany. Among thousands of Bach photos on Google, only one picture of this Bach monument was "hidden" before Peter made a trip to this cool place. Now there are 20 different photos.

 

Isn't that likeable? The artist was so overwhelmed by the name and person of Bach that he renamed the town of Bach's birth Eisenach to Eisenbach. My husband and I love this among some 160 J.S. Bach stamps published in around 100 years and all over the world. Would you like to discover all of them ... now?

 

Peter Bach Jr., author of "Bach on Bach", actually possesses the complete collection (... learn more about him with a click here), all Bach stamps that were ever published in the world. Plus he also found all Bach cinderellas. Learn more about Bach cinderellas with a click here.

 

Yes, the Bachs also sold musical instruments back then, however, probably no pipe organs. And they made music. In Germany, in Italy, in Great Britain and in the USA. Today the Bachs of this family make music in the Netherlands as well.

 

Wherever Bachs of this family lived: They made music. The Bachs – then still called Bache – are by far the largest family of musicians. Learn more with a click here.

 

 


The Coolest Website About Pipe Organs on the Planet

 

Do you know Martin Doering? The German pipe organs lover Martin Doering, who lives in Berlin? Of course, you don't, as his website on the US Google results is not showing up on position one to ten. However, his website is awesome, and I want to introduce you to his collection of more than 6,000 pipe organs and real much exciting pipe organ stuff to read. The title of this website is "www.die-Orgelseite.de" Yes, it is a "... de address" and that makes it therefore hard to climb the Google results outside Germany. Of course there is an English section and so you don't have to walk your way via "Babble" or "Rosetta Stone".

 

His website is really worth a visit. Martin Doering provides a true treasure, when it comes to the beauty of pipe organs in the whole world. He even travels around the globe to take new pictures, perfect pictures of pipe organs.
