Psalm 121
Medium Advanced
The piece Psalm 121 sparkles at the beginning with the use of the organ’s cymbalstern, and depicts the majesty of God’s creation of Earth. Both hands play in octaves on the great and choir manuals, to bring strength to the opening. In the center of the piece, a beautiful melody begins on the Swell, and in the recap, the Swell reed is added. The piece changes direction and the right hand moves back to the Great to build toward a big finish. The crescendo pedal and sforzando stop add the right amount of strength of sound and the pedal adds a great discord resolving at the last majestic chord.
Proclaim Christ's Glory
Medium
Proclaim Christ’s Glory is a fantasy on the hymn tune, “O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing” written in 1739 by Charles Wesley. The hymn is a common meter tune, 8.6.8.6. written by Carl Glaser and arranged by Lowell Mason in the 1800s, called AZMON.
The fantasy begins with upward, fast 16th note passages, lifting the player and listener to higher ground. There are 3 verses contained in the fantasy, in which the congregation could sing along, or it can be played as an organ solo. The final verse is played fortissimo, rising higher with the addition of the sforzando for the last phrase, sweeping the congregation into a joyous ending.

Ragtime Dance For Four Feet
The organ isn’t just for church music! It’s for recitals, too, and this piece makes a big splash as a recital closer! Scored for two organists, it’s a delightful arrangement of that ragtime classic, Ragtime Dance by Scott Joplin. As organists are versatile with all four of their appendages, this piece will not disappoint any organist, as both feet and both hands are required!
Use a full pedal registration for maximum ear coverage!
Alleluia, Shout AMEN!
Alleluia, Shout AMEN! is a great celebration piece that can be used for any festival - and Easter, Eastertide, too. It would be a fun recital piece! This is 7-½ pages of sheer fun, including the cymbalstern, if you have one!
