Hi,
It seems like my hard work and practice has finally paid off ... I've been offered a regular position playing at the local Church, in addition to the 1 service a month at a village church nearby.
This will be accompanying a choir which I'm very happy about.
So, what is the point of the post I hear you ask ... I will need to extend my repertoire of voluntaries and wondered what your opinions would be.
I'm thinking of:
1 or 2 Bach preludes (and fugue?)
1 or 2 quiet / reflective pieces for those services when such music is appropriate.
Now here's the tricky part ... I don't have a huge amount of time to get these 'performance perfect' and I don't like playing pieces until they are ready - no one wants to hear pauses in the music, or slowing down etc.
I have enough music 'in the bag' ready for the next 2 months, so I'm after stuff I can learn and have ready for October onwards.
Yet again, Pipe Organ friends, I'm after your advice.
Thanks!
