- For the fifth tutorial in this year’s series, Francis Rumsey discusses the registration of hymn accompaniments with Jonathan Kingston. Accompanying hymns is many organists’ primary role, and feedback suggests that a number of you would like to hear a bit more about this.
We’ve chosen three hymns, “Praise my soul the king of heaven”, “Dear Lord and Father”, and the more recent song “I the Lord of sea and sky”, to give us a basis for discussing things like registration of playovers, verse contrasts, word painting, and last verses.

In this tutorial series Francis Rumsey and Jonathan Kingston discuss and demonstrate approaches to registration for distinctive genres and styles of organ music.
Overview of the Organ Registration Tutorial Series. We’ve chosen five topics to discuss in this year’s series. In this series Jonathan plays a Viscount Regent 356 organ.
1. The first video looks at registering Bach’s chorale preludes, using two contrasting trio examples. viscountorgans.net/bach-chora...
2. The second considers how to deal with the different sections of a big North German school work in the stylus phantasticus.

3. During the third, Francis and Jonathan discuss examples of how to handle a perennial challenge in organ performance-that of rendering extended crescendo and decrescendo passages while minimising obvious steps in loudness and timbre. That’s done with the aid of a Psalm Prelude by Herbert Howells. viscountorgans.net/herbert-ho...
4. Our fourth tutorial spends time with Franck’s Chorale in A minor, considering how to register the different sections of this well-known work for authentic effect. viscountorgans.net/francks-or...
5. Finally, the fifth tutorial takes you on a tour of some widely used hymn tunes. A number of our viewers have requested more information about dealing with hymn accompaniment, so we’ve encouraged Jonathan to impart his wisdom on things like play overs, word painting and last verses. viscountorgans.net/registerin...
So many organists only worry about literature, but exciting and sensitive hymn playing is actually more difficult and more important!
"Here I am Lord"!!!
Amazing!! Thanks loads
For the last end of the hymn the 32 ' should come in...
English sound is the best IMO for average-size congregational singing
Personally, I very rarely introduce a hymn with the last two lines of the tune, even with a well-known hymn. It doesn't 'tell' the congregation what they need to know, and with a lesser-known tune, can easily cause confusion.
Gee that Regent 356 sounds good via headphones.
What hymnal are you using? Love the possibilities of that organ. Beautiful sound.
What does swell to 2 or swell to 15th mean? Those are registration terms I have never heard.
Do you transpose the final verse up a half-note?
The last hymn should be played slower.Its too rushed. And the tremulant should be used.. Other wise fine...
Hi! What is you' re hymns book? Thanks
Which model is this ? Nice
