For example, an introduction to <I>Freut euch, ihr lieben</I> can use the first three and last three measures of the setting herein with the middle taken from the hymnal. Or the four settings of <I>Coronation</I> can be played in any order, or selectively, the key change applied to any setting or dispensed with.</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700c800000000.png" HEIGHT="13" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Choral parts can be written out to match the setting. The range and difficulty of the choral parts can be tailored to suit the ability of the choir.</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700c800000000.png" HEIGHT="13" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Other instruments can join. To provide an example, the setting of the second hymn in this collection, <I>Adeste Fidelis</I>, includes optional brass parts.</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700c800000000.png" HEIGHT="13" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">They can be used as teaching tools. Some of the settings are effectively little études, having some challenging aspect that addresses a particular technical element of organ performance.</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700c800000000.png" HEIGHT="13" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Comparison of the relatively simple harmonic treatment of the tunes in a hymn book to the more developed treatments here make good exercises for students of music theory and improvisation.</div> <bR> <div> Tunes can vary from hymnal to hymnal. Tunes here are taken variously from <I>Lutheran Service Book </I>(2006), <I>Church Hymnary</I> (2005) and www.nethymnal.org. Some settings reflect my own practice in timing and key selection.</div> <bR> <div> I hope you find these settings useful and fun. I am always happy to get feedback / suggestions / requests via the publisher, Christian Arts Foundation, www.caf.org.hk. If you happen to be in Hong Kong, please visit us at Church of All Nations on the Repulse Bay campus of Hong Kong International School, www.can.org.hk.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> David Werner</div> <div> <I>Dec. 2008</I></div> <bR> <div> <B>Registration and notation:</B></div> <div> Registrations provided are to accompany congregational singing. If the settings are used for other purposes, the registrations may be very different indeed.</div> <div> The organ in mind is a medium-sized, three-manual instrument having an independent pedal division, and the Swell coupled to Choir is strong enough for occasional support of congregational singing.</div> <div> Where the Pedal does not have sufficient body to act as a foil to the Great, the Great may have to be coupled to the Pedal though indicated otherwise.</div> <div> Where the Swell coupled to Choir (CS) is not strong enough to support congregational singing, or on two-manual instruments, CS and GCS may both be played on the Great, the difference being the number of stops used on the Great.</div> <div> Indication for a Bassoon in the Pedal is for a light 16’ reed (<I>i.a.</I>, Corno di Bassetto, Douçaine, Rankett). An aggressive Fagotto serving as the sole Pedal reed may be too strong, in which case some less prominent way to add penetrating clarity to the pedal line should be used where available (<I>e.g.</I>, 16’ or 8’ string, reed from Swell). When a strong Pedal reed is desired the term "Reeds" is used.</div> <div> Common notes (<I>i.e.</I>, a pitch in one voice taken up by another voice in the next chord) are generally intended to be tied even though no tie is indicated. One exception to this is a descending melodic line where the soprano is common to the previous alto note, in which case the alto note should be shortened so the soprano note is rearticulated. Since practice on this varies among organists some common notes are explicitly tied, or breaks explicitly indicated using a slash ( / ).</div> <div> Dynamics follow the convention whereby <I><B>pp</B></I> to <I><B>f</B></I> indicate relative position of expression shutters regardless of registration, while <I><B>ff</B></I> and <I><B>fff</B></I> indicate degrees of full organ.</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> <td valign="top" width=190 BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" TEXT="#080000" bgproperties="fixed" background="252be542egerdp.gif"> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
