These hymns have been adapted for playing on the organ.

How are they different?

When playing hymns on the organ or piano from a hymnal, the sound is less than desirable and not what the composer intended.

Words that have multiple syllables must have a note for every syllable. This creates a challenge for those of us that play the organ or piano because sometimes we must play them as written, other times we play them as tied notes, so our playing does not sound choppy.

Organists who have had the rare opportunity to study hymnplaying are taught to do this automatically, on the fly.

We have written these hymns out to make them sound better on the keyboard. You are playing the same notes that are being sung, but the organ or a piano have a fuller, richer sound to better support singing.
