Hello fellow organists and musicians,
Does anyone know of a hymnal, praise book, song book or what have you that contains the new contemporary songs, and is written in a way that is more playable on the organ?
I am weary from the time it takes to adapt many of these songs ,that are clearly written for piano, and make them playable on the organ. I have been playing for church services for many years, but I play the organ, not the piano, so it is more difficult and time consuming for me to adapt the typical flowing left hand into chords. I have several new hymnals that contain contemporary songs written in SATB four part harmony, but there are a lot of popular contemporary songs that I can not find in that format.
Any resources that you can share would be greatly appreciated. I am a busy grandma who doesn't have the extra time to sit in church on Saturday afternoon and make these songs playable on the organ. They are so much easier to play if the left hand is written in chords. Then I'm able to be finished with my practicing and on my way enjoying my grandkids.
Thank you for your help.
