Noel, you hit the nail on the head with your comments about "Sound Man". Even
though our church has an antiquated PA system, more and more soloists would
rather be accompanied by a recording blaring through this, complete with
far-off choirs which could be compared to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir being
used as back-up singers. I suppose these soloists, whom evidently cannot sing
above a whisper (which requires the microphone to be earsplitting high)
practice these tunes driving in their car, playing them on their CD changers.
I play the prelude in our church, which is hard to hear above the raucous
crowd laughing and hollering as they gather. Then I sit idle on the bench for
30 minutes as we go through 3 praise songs, announcements, etc. Sometimes
play an offertory, then sit down until the end when I play the invitation
hymn and postlude.
It truly is a downer, as you said, and yes, my (and the pianist's) morale
does suffer.
