Temper the space between the repeated notes to your acoustics. In a dry acoustic,
coustic,
ic, you do not need as much space
between the notes and, in general, will use more legato. Cathedral acoustics

tics hide all kinds
kin of things and one can
play around with this indeterminately!

2. ALWAYS LEAD THE SINGING WITH A STEADY PULSE.

Do vary your hymn registrationsit doesnt


snt have to be a different combination on each verse, necessarily. But we
have all heard fine organists play alll thee verses of a hymn
hym on pretty much the same soundthis is not inspiring.
This is boring for the listeners, singers,
gers, and the player!
pl
Also, always try to listen for balance between the singers and
the accompaniment. (I admit, itt iss sometimes very
v
difficult to do this from the organ bench!)

Second, third and fourth

1. One of these verses might


ght be the time to reduce
red
the organ, if the congregational singing calls for it. Also, heres a good
time to vary the registrationexperiment
rationexperiment
onexperim with different possibilities! Sometimes I like to solo out the melody an octave
lower either playing the tune in the
th tenor
teno register, or as written but on a registration with a prominent 16' stop. If your
organ is tubby, try playing the melody

m
an octave higher by using a super coupler, or by playing in octaves.
2. Especially on a smaller
maller instrument,
instrume a welcome change in texture may be achieved by simply omitting the pedals
instrum
for a verse. There
ere is no reason to
t keep the pedals going throughout all the verses. Another variationfor occasional useiss to omit the organ entirely
for one verse, but only if the singing is strong enough!

3. In your
ur hymn
ymn practicing,
practicing try varying the pedal notes by using pedal points, or passing tones, for example. Of course
you can do this to other
othe voices besides the bass too. Varying the harmonic structure is another option, but dont
doo this in the service
serv unless you are thoroughly comfortable with this sort of variation.
4. Be humbly aware
of your own gifts and limitations. Everyone needs to practice. If you have a talent for improvisaa
tion,
it, practice and study the art! The melody should always be discernible in any free accompanion, dont wing
