Hello, Organ World!
“Begin at the beginning…..and go on till you come to the end: then stop.” / Lewis Carroll
Getting started at the organrep blog. Trying to define what I’m about while avoiding the following words: musings, reflections, and ramblings.
About me: I’m an organist at CathedralLite – my congregation is musically enthusiastic, my director is demanding, and the bar for performing is high. I’ve been there five years. And for five years, I’ve sought a web resource for the following:
– demonstrate great service music outside the context of publisher-driven advertising
– post documents that I could actually use for planning and organization
– address aspects of church music which are ignored in church music academia
– spark ideas and feed my enthusiasm for my calling – church music can be isolated
So, a toast to The Art of Organ Playing! Here’s to hearty hymn singing, lush celestes, perfectly timed bridal marches, and a wellspring of ardor for the King of Instruments in the service of the King of Kings! Cheers!
