Class,
I'm now able to zip files down to smaller size--around 10th their original
size! So attached as a zip-file lesson is a sample of the 100s of hymns I
scored for two-staff organ--phrase bars, note ties and suggested
registration. The registration includes Tune/Pitch/Intonation for Johannus
digital-sampled organs.
The phrase bars go from one staff to the other between phrases in the words
when they apply to all stanzas or the Refrain.
Many Alto, Tenor and Bass notes are tied (in harmony with the time signature
and phrasing). I did this because hymns played on the organ aren't to be
played the same way they're sung nor played on the piano.
Hymns have so many notes because virtually every word syllable has to be
accounted for. And since piano notes die away so fast, they need to be played
similarly as sung.
But the organ with its sustained notes is to be played differently. Tying
said notes allows for Alto, Tenor and bass Pedal points. Pedal points are
common to music written for organ. They were originally used in the Pedal,
thus the name, but can be used in any part except the melody, and even there
at the end of a phrase. Playing thus makes the melody stand out more.
I scanned a number of hymns before setting just the right contrast. So later
ones look darker than this one.
The hymn title is "Praise to the Lord." It will take about a minute with a
fast modem to download. And a similar time to unzip. AOL eMail automatically
unzips files. If your Windows PC computer doesn't have a zip-file extractor,
you can buy the zip or unzip software at http://www.winzip.com/
Sincerely,
Pauline W. Phillips
