Upbeat music for after service

[Bach>Meer]

Hi all

Does anyone have any ideas of simple pieces - especially by Bach - for after a service which could be described as upbeat or exhilarating?

Thanks!

Hello Bach>Meer,

For organ - after service music aka postlude, Bach's Gigue Fugue in G-major - a real crowd pleaser - exhilarating and bracing it can very well be if registered on the organ rightly. If you can memorise this one you'll have a very potent "weapon" in your arsenal, to be whipped out when people say that Bach's music is funeral music.

Cheers,

Corno Dolce

Hi Bach>Meer,

Any one of the Bach Eight Little Preludes & Fugues work great for postludes - my congregation loves them and often a large group of people hang around for the entire piece.

Song of Joy from Beethoven and Jesu Joy of Man's desire can be played
for after service. They can be upbeat.

A nice piece of Mozart in my humble opinion.
I have two pieces that I call upon every now and then which sound really bright and upbeat.

for bright and upbeat, try Crown Imperial by Walton, or else either Widors or Boellmans Toccata or the Final from syymphony no 1 by Vierne..... my congregation go mad when I play them

Bright and upbeat? Levebre-Wely piece?

Try something from integrety hosanna. They can help.
