Bestselling MorningStar Music composer Jeremy J. Bankson discusses hymnody and the use of brass and organ in his music. Listen as Bankson shares the inspiration behind his popular compositions, insights from his journey, and his experience with the power of hymn festivals and congregational singing.
Organ music written for manuals only, or for minimal pedal, is useful for many organists and pianists. Along with its obvious benefit to beginning and intermediate organists, it can be a bridge for pianists who are asked occasionally to play organ. It is also a repertoire staple for intermediate/advanced organists who have little time for practice. It is an essential supplement to a pedagogical resource, providing students with practical music that can be used in worship services. And it can serve as a jumping-off point for those learning to improvise.
