Dear Lutheran Church Organists

[royalfan5]

Could you all get together and pick a tempo for the hymn of praise, kyrie, offertory, and everything else that gets played every week. We're Lutherans, we all think routine and consistancy is grand. Changing tempo's every week throws everyone off, especially this week when divine service I is used rather than divine service II. Everyone was rattled by the slightly different wording already, and then having to sing slower just messed everyone one up. So I implore you,just to pick a tempo and stick with it.
Thanks,
Royalfan 5

A sense of rhythm: some people got it, a whole lot of musicians don't.

If one does not have a sense of rhythm, that one is NOT a musician... period.
