NotesThe free harmonizations of hymn tunes that are included in this collection are designed to offer alternative organ accompaniments for selected verses. They are, for the most part, written in traditional four-voice harmony and are technically conservative in their demands. In order to provide support for congregational singing, particularly where familiar harmonizations have been altered, the melodies are featured prominently in all settings
There are three typical categories: 1.) the hymn melody is presented as a solo in the soprano line, accompanied by two manual voices (in the left hand) and a bass line (in the pedal); 2.) the hymn melody is presented as a solo in the tenor register, accompanied by the right hand and pedal; and 3.) the hymn melody is presented in the soprano register, harmonized below in free voicing in the alto, tenor and bass registers. In some instances where there are two or more settings of tunes, one verse can be used for the hymn introduction and another for an intermediate or final verse.
The settings in which the melody is notated as a solo in the soprano or tenor voice can be rendered effectively on an instrument of two manuals (or larger) and pedal, with the use of terraced dynamics. In some instances, the hymn tune will benefit from registration on a bold solo reed (or reeds), with or without coupled divisions in support. Often, a solo tuba will work effectively in the soprano voice at combined 16' and 8' pitches; when used in a tenor line presentation, it will be effective if it includes 4' pitch.
