Download or read book A Catholic Organist s Guide to Playing Hymns written by Noel Jones, and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-08-19 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most organists learn to play hymns by opening the hymnbook and playing. Without any lessons. It's very rare for an organ student to have as part of their weekly assignment preparation of a hymn to be played at the next lesson. It is also rare for a church organist to have the luxury of having time, the money to pay and access to a fine organ teacher. The techniques used in playing a hymn are the same as used in the playing of Bach organ works. However, there are additional challenges, challenges that become difficult as organists are not playing from organ music, but from hymnbooks that are published for singing, not for playing the organ. Simple techniques used in this book make it possible for an organist to interpret how to play effectively from a hymnbook. But the music in hymnbooks is not written to be played, but instead to be sung. Why aren't hymnbooks more organist-friendly? Johann Sebastian Bach composed 354 arrangements of hymntunes, in four parts, for singing. These 354 hymns are still studied today by theory students. They are excellent examples of four part composition. With four parts being sung against each other, subtle harmonies are possible. Hymns in today's hymnals are still presented in the 4-part style introduced by Bach. Most organ teaching methods approach hymn playing by putting the student to work playing 4-part hymns, with little or no introduction or training. "Four parts" means that four independent melodies are played against each other at the same time. Hymnplaying in four parts is on the same level of difficulty as playing Bach Preludes in four parts. Bach did not compose the 354 hymns in four parts as teaching materials for organists. They were written for singers to sing. They were not intended for basic study by an organist wanting to master the art of hymn playing at the organ. Four part hymn playing is tricky, if not downright difficult. While pianos have a sustain pedal, there is none on the organ. Organists have to hold down all four notes (chord) being played, and develop skills to move smoothly to the next four notes to be played. Some notes are held, requiring pivoting or substituting another finger to free up a finger to reach a new note. It's like watching a many-legged spider maneuvering around the keyboard. We are confident that you will find this book useful. There is much to be said in favor of playing hymns in three parts. We've surveyed music directors, and an overwhelming number agree that they would rather hear an organist play three part hymns with confidence, than hear an organist struggle while trying to play in four parts out of the hymnal. The key to playing hymns successfully is learning how to adapt what is on the hymnal page to the organ. That's what this book is all about, overcoming the fact that hymnals are for singers, not for organists.

Download or read book Hymn Style Piano Playing written by Robert Kelley and published by . This book was released on 2019-04-14 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hymn-Style Piano Playing is a collection of studies and teaching pieces to help developing pianists learn to play hymns and chorales at the piano. The music in this book comes from a great diversity of chorale traditions. Orchestral music, sacred and secular choir music, church hymns, national anthems, string quartets, and piano music in chorale style are all included, drawn from five continents. Helpful pedagogical advice is given for the etudes and preparatory literature in the first half of the book, and the second half includes many hymns and chorales from which the teacher and student may select for further study. Nearly all bachelor's degree programs in music education with choral emphasis have a piano proficiency requirement that is satisfied by piano classes, piano lessons, and/or an examination that includes reading chorale-style music. This collection of technical exercises and music is specifically designed to teach the students how to play hymns and chorales in order to satisfy this program requirement. The prerequisites for a course that would use this text are approximately one year of group piano or piano lessons.
