Rather than hi-jack the Difficult Music thread, could I ask if I am likely to offend sensibilities by trying out some exam music on the congregation?
This is a penitential season and it may be that they would consider it an ordeal to listen to me but it would be a help to perform this stuff in advance of the exam, to be taken in just a few weeks from now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blush.gif) Only one piece is Bach but it is apparently played at Christmas, although I can't think of anyone who is likely to rumble this fact. So - should I present the stuff or must I sit on it until a more suitable season? |

Further to the posts above, I was reminded on Sunday that the Trumpet stop should not be used in services during Lent.
Perhaps it would be useful to have a short list of Lent Do's and Don’ts for those who are less knowledgeable on this subject, or who have simply forgotten. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blush.gif) SB |

QUOTE(Swell Box @ Mar 4 2009, 01:25 PM)  Further to the posts above, I was reminded on Sunday that the Trumpet stop should not be used in services during Lent. Hmm, the trumpet stop shouldn't be used unless the organ was tuned in the last five seconds. The reeds shouldn't be used unless the organ was tuned in the last hour. Never mind faux-pas from the organist, why don't they teach them at priesting school about not having weddings during Advent and Lent? |
