Examples

All of the examples that follow are suitable for solo and accompaniment registration. If you wish to study the process of determining this suitability, see the lesson, “Three Primary Types of Organ Registration.”

The suggestions that accompany these examples represent one set of possibilities, and are not intended to rule out others.

In each example, we seek for an appropriate range of possible combinations by considering each of the following:

Regarding the SOLO:

• what is its written range?
• what should be its pitch foundation?
• at what volume level should it sound?
• what should be the timbre of the solo?

Regarding the ACCOMPANIMENT:

• how much contrast in volume should there be between solo and accompaniment?
• how much contrast in timbre?
