More time at the organ
This Sunday's music is incomparably easier than last Sunday's. Practicing this morning was a pleasure. The only difficulty is that a couple of the hymns positively demand creative harmonizations, and I can't find any, and you certainly don't want me making up my own. But I'm introducing the Communion hymn with a nice Baroque choral prelude on the relevant tune, which I suppose counts for something. My prelude and postlude are already sounding better than last week's. I suspect I play the postlude considerably faster than I'm supposed to, but I figure if you can't make a piece exciting by exceptionally fine playing, speed is a handy substitute.
