What people are saying.
I am so excited about this, Noel. I am a pianist who studied organ briefly in college over 10 years ago, but haven't played organ for churches on a regular basis since. Having suggestions for stops, and examples of preludes, etc. is exactly what I missed out on in my lessons, and something I have always struggled with, too. I'm not able to be a full-time church organist right now because of family life, but I look forward to using this and other resources from frog press to help me hold on to my talent until I can play the organ again. Thank you!!
A delightful selection - much appreciated!
Thank you for your hard work!
This is a great resource. We are using it for organ instruction here. I’m sure the instructor will be along to explain how, as I am a lowly student.
So after purchasing the organist $20.00 option, I can get a organ chorale for any hymn tune currently in the database? Is it a once time purchase or monthly installment? How long is each chorale prelude? Two pages or so?
What a great idea!
Hymnbooks are for singers, not organists.
The Catholic Organist’s Book of Hymns applies all the rules of interpretation used by highly trained and effective professional church organists when playing hymns, based upon their years of study and experience. It is in electronic form and at a future date will also be available in print.
Each hymn appears as:
1. The hymn scored on two staves for organ in four parts.
2. The hymn written in organ in three parts.
3. A Chorale Prelude based on the hymn.
4. The hymn melody with chords.
It may also include:
5. The hymn as it appears in hymnbooks with text.
6. A postlude based upon the hymn.
7. A free harmonization of the last verse.
