Clay,
Oh, nice news on my birthday (MORE HANDEL!)
The middle route is the one I'm trying. Keeping the old titles some of
which I love dearly myself and throwing in both new titles and new MIDI
sounds as we go along. I think that in time they will come around. It =
is
just an adjustment.

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