I guess there are two schools of thought. One is play what they want to hear
(probably no more than 20 titles in that pile). The other is introduce
something new occasionally and try to expand their horizons while still playing
the
favorites. I guess a third option is take them to the new stuff cold turkey,
but I wouldn't suggest that one.
That is one of the challenges we face as organists and as composers and
arrangers. I am between books right now (well actually, I've done a little on
the
Lent/Easter book -- more Handel Keith!). Anyway, I would be willing to take
requests of what your congregations would like to hear and put together a book
of those arrangements (creativity and copyright availability willing). I
think Noel threw this general offer out to the list a few months ago, and while
we
got a few, the response was not great. I am willing to try again.
I would ask that you respond to the list and COPY me clay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx in
case I miss something on the list. If I get enough (I need at least six -- ten
would be better) I will let the list know and start working on the book. I
have two week off at the end of the year from "working for the man" so the
faster the response, the better.
I will add the caveat of any creative person that I can't guarantee that your
suggestion will make it in, simply because sometimes I just can't "connect"
(yeah squishy I know) with a certain piece. But fear not. I file those away
and something usually strikes me some time in the future.
If you have any questions or other comments, you are free to contact me off
list as well.
Regards,
Clay
