Obviously it's not as good as a comparable pipe organ, but it's the best digital I've ever heard. It would also take a very expensive pipe organ to match its flexibility, and saves tons of maintenance. Considering those benefits, I think digital organs are nothing short of miraculous for bringing a full organ sound into more worship services and giving more people an opportunity to learn to play.

I've done it a few times but it's been a while. I would start with the hymns that end in 1, then move on to the 2's, but usually only one or two digits in one session.

I quite like this Rodgers unit, the flexibility and variety in the included stops is unusually high for a chapel organ. Other Rodgers vary somewhat in quality, especially older models 😅

I'm afraid not, I do have plans to transcribe and post my own reharmonizations, but not ones that are adapted heavily from other arrangements.

My registration, as is often the case with Kasen arrangements, is primarily string celestes in the accompaniment. Verse 1 uses an 8' + 4' + 1 1/3' flute solo, and verse 2 uses an 8' clarinet solo (on great, coupled to pedal). Verse 3 I add in the celestes on the great and principles to the pedal. That registration may or may not make sense depending on your organ.

This is the second year that my ward has used his He Is Risen for Easter, to great effect!

It's a really good digital organ!

I intend to transcribe and post the sheet music but so far haven't gotten around to it. Though with this being the second comment about it in a 24 hour period, maybe this is my sign to get on it.

I've been meaning to transcribe this and others of my hymn harmonizations but haven't gotten around to it yet. I've developed them by making partial notes in my own hymnal.

@@StephenKendall ~ it is the last verse that I love the most with your feet holding the notes longer. If you have it marked in your hymn book and are willing to share, I would love because I want to learn it soo bad!

Yeah, the pedal points are really satisfying. On line 1 I hold an F2 through it, and on line 3 hold an F3 for half and F2 for the other half. Line 2 is where it gets more complicated as I completely change several of the chords in there.

It's the Chromorne actually. Which sounds quite like the Clarinet on some organs 😄

It's right in the title 😄

It's a digital organ, but a particularly good one. I'm quite fond of it!

I thought it was a pipe organ. Years ago when I played in sacrament meeting there were some pretty cheap ones. You are lucky to have a nice one..@@StephenKendall

I'm not sure I've seen those kinds of old hymnals, what about them was hard to decipher?
