Carson Cooman is an amazingly productive composer and unparalleled champion of contemporary organ music! Today I would like to share with you his thoughtful Lighthouse Song which is taken from his Cambridgeport Collection. I think I can hear some ship signals in the pedal part. I played it on the great organ at Vilnius University St. John's church but it could work on a small one manual positive organ as well. Hope you will enjoy it!

Vidas: Hello and welcome to Secrets of Organ Playing Podcast!
Ausra: This is a show dedicated to helping you become a better organist. V: We’re your hosts Vidas Pinkevicius... A: ...and Ausra Motuzaite-Pinkeviciene. V: We have over 25 years of experience of playing the organ A: ...and we’ve been teaching thousands of organists online from 89 countries since 2011. V: So now let’s jump in and get started with the podcast for today. A: We hope you’ll enjoy it! V: Hi guys! This is Vidas. A: And Ausra. Vidas: Let’s start episode 705 of Secrets of Organ Playing Podcast. This question was sent by Matthew, and he writes: “Hello Vidas & Ausra, Thank you for all that you are doing to encourage and coach organists! 1. What is your dream for organ playing? Be able to accompany any song without losing the mood of the song. Rich bass and appropriate chords. 2. What are 3 most important things that are holding you back from realizing your dream? a. Fingering b. Unable to play soprano and alto in the right hand simultaneously (bass and tenor in the left hand simultaneously) c. Knowledge of chords Best regards, Mathew” Vidas: Well, from the wording of this question, I get that the feeling that Matthew hasn’t been playing on the organ for a very long time. Ausra: Yes, it seems like that. Vidas: The terms that he’s using are usually quite general. They’re meant for people who are not specialized, right, who haven’t, let’s say, studied formally! Ausra: Yes! Yes, it looks like that. Vidas: So… knowledge of chords, we would say “harmony.” Ausra: Yes, definitely. Music Theory at the beginning and then harmony—keyboard harmony. Vidas: Or even music music theory, yeah. Before harmony, you cannot neglect theory, because harmony is a second level from theory. Ausra: Yes. Vidas: Harmony is basically a subject which deals with the chords in keyboard notation, basically, of two voices in each hand. Right? At least four voices. Right? And music theory just teaches you various elements of music starting with what… with scales, modes, intervals, and then chords. Ausra: Yes. Music theory doesn’t teach you… It teaches the names of the chords and how to recognize them, how to do in versions, but it does not teach you how to connect those chords together in the right way. Vidas: Yes, how to create a meaningful passage of music using those chords. Ausra: That’s what harmony teaches you. Vidas: Music theory might concern about one or two chords, like a dissonant chord and its resolution to the tonic chord… Ausra: But not… Vidas: But not a wider passage. Okay. So Matthew wants to accompany any song without losing the mood of the song, a rich base and appropriate chords. So yes, he needs to select an appropriate harmony to the melody of the song. Ausra: But you know, if you are an inexperienced musician and you want to accompany somebody, you really need to play it from the score, I think. You need to find a score and play from it. Not too add your own chords. You might be able to do that in the future, but as a beginner, I think think it wouldn’t be really the smartest idea. Vidas: Let me put it that way. Supplying your own harmony to the originally melody, a hymn or another kind of sacred song, or a secular song, you just supply the harmony. It’s called harmonization. It could be without pedals, it could be with pedals, the melody could be in the right hand or it could be in the left hand, or whatever you choose for texture. Right? But this process is basically creating a new piece of music. So let me make an analogy with a different field in terms of literature. Then people would understand it better because people read books. Right? More often than play music. Or at least newspapers or magazines, or now something on their phones. Right? Ausra: Just titles of the articles. Vidas: of the articles!! Still they read. Ausra: ...and watching pictures. Vidas: They read. And what Matthew needs to do is, of course, harmonize and create new short pieces of music. So in literature, you would actually compare it to being able to write an essay or a short paragraph. Right? Like a story maybe, like a short story based on a certain theme—a theme like preexistent theme that is given to you or that you choose for yourself. So how realistic is that if you are not a reader first? You have to be a reader first, and then write second. Correct, Ausra? Ausra: Um yes! That’s correct. Vidas: And, I’ve read somewhere… I’ve read somewhere that you have to read 100 books in order to be able to write 1. It’s maybe a generalization, maybe it’s an over-exaggerated version, but it was, I think, a citation from one of those French creators of encyclopedias from the 18th century. And of course, they knew the knowledge of encyclopedic things, and they knew the necessity of reading so many books, 100 books, and then be able to write one, skillfully, you know. So what I’m getting to is actually, you have to play musical compositions first, and only then, probably, aim to harmonize or create your own compositions. Ausra: Yes, and how to reach, for example, a rich bass, if you are accompanying somebody and you want to have a rich bass, you need to play the lowest voice on the pedal-board with adding 16’ and other organ stops. Vidas: So this skill is actually easier to learn if you read the real organ compositions from the score. And if you do 100 of them over the course of several years or sooner, you will be able to do that. Ausra: And you know, like, hymn playing, hymn accompaniment might do a great thing here, because learning to accompany hymns, you can learn all of these things, to play rich bass with the pedal line, and you can see how chords are connected between themselves, because it’s usually written in the hymnals—the four-voice harmonization. And I think this would help you a great deal. And as you know, Matthew writes that he’s unable to play soprano and alto Vidas: in the right hand Ausra: in the right hand simultaneously, and bass and tenor in the left simultaneously. So, if you want to accompany a hymn right, as it should be, you should play, of course, soprano and alto with your write hand and tenor with your left hand, but the bass line with the pedals. And it really annoys me that very often, church organists double the bass line in the left hand along with the pedal line. Vidas: In other words, they play all four parts with the hands, plus they play the pedals—the bass line, additionally, which is incorrect! Ausra: And I think I understand why this problem exists, because there are still more people that are right-handed, and if you are right-handed, as for example Vidas and I are, it gives you trouble to play left-hand and pedals at the same time. Because usually your playing makes you work in such a way that you want to double with your left-hand whatever you are playing in the pedals. Vidas: So you need to persevere with playing maybe combinations of left-hand and pedals together, first of all alone, but then together more than right-hand combinations, because that’s more difficult to do. Tenor alone, bass alone, and tenor and bass together. Ausra: And you know, fingering gives a hard time for Matthew. Just really try to work on the hymns from the hymnal—any four-part hymnal—and I think it will give you quite a right notion of fingering, because if you are playing four voices on the keyboard, I just cannot imagine how could you be wrong in the fingering. Vidas: Yes! Because it’s all positioned fingering. Correct? Ausra: Yes, it’s very positioned fingering. Vidas: Intervals between, let’s say, a fifth, you could play with one, two, three, four, five fingers, without changing any position. Right? C and E… three notes. So you play 1 and 3, or 2 and 4, or even 3 and 5 if there is a change in position. So that’s a third. A fourth, a fifth, exactly the same. 1-4, 1-5, even 2-5, but then wider than a fifth, you play with 1-5. C to A or C to B. That’s a seventh. Or an Octave, C to C, you still play with the same 1-5 fingering. Yes. Ausra: Well, and you know, as about losing the mood in the middle, let’s say of a hymn or of a song that you are accompanying—what would keep you in the mood all the time, that if you could sing whatever you are accompanying. You could sing the melody along with how your are accompanying it, because will help you to keep up with the congregation or soloist or choir or whatever you are accompanying. Because if you cannot do that it means you don’t know that song well enough, and you are still not ready to accompany it. And also, if you are accompanying a song or a hymn, it has text, yes, like words. So you really need to be familiar with those words and the meaning of those words, because usually a song or a hymn has more than one verse, so you need to know them all and to choose your registration accordingly, or the level of your dynamics accordingly. If you are playing, for example, or accompanying on the piano. So it’s really important. Plus, if you will know the text well and if you can sing, and I don’t mean that you will have to sing when you are actually accompanying it and performing it, but in preparation for doing it, it will give you the natural musicality, you will know how to phrase things, where to take longer breaks between the phrases, where to slow down, for example, at the end, and about tempo. Yes. It will give you a good notion about tempo, because it’s often that, not me very often, but it’s quite often the case that organists choose the tempo without thinking about it, and then it’s either too slow or too fast for a congregation or a choir to sing. Of course, if you have a conductor, then it’s all solved because the conductor dictates the temple. But if you are the main musician of the church, or whenever you are accompanying somebody, then it’s up to you to choose the right tempo. And if you will sing, you will know how fast or how slow you should play. Vidas: Exactly. And I would just add at the end that a good idea would be to choose, let’s say, 100 hymns. And to practice one hymn per week. In 100 weeks, you will learn 100 hymns, and you will be able to play a lot of organ repertoire, basic level repertoire after that. Right? So a good place to start is our Hymn Playing Workshop. It’s just for 10 hymns. It’s a very small selection of hymns, but it’s a very good starting point. Good luck with that. So, we hope this was useful to you! This is Vidas, Ausra: And Ausra! Vidas: Please send us more of your questions, we love helping you grow. And remember, when you practice, Ausra: Miracles happen!

Vidas: Hello and welcome to Secrets of Organ Playing Podcast!
Ausra: This is a show dedicated to helping you become a better organist. V: We’re your hosts Vidas Pinkevicius... A: ...and Ausra Motuzaite-Pinkeviciene. V: We have over 25 years of experience of playing the organ A: ...and we’ve been teaching thousands of organists online from 89 countries since 2011. V: So now let’s jump in and get started with the podcast for today. A: We hope you’ll enjoy it! V: Hi guys! This is Vidas. A: And Ausra. V: Let’s start episode 704 of Secrets of Organ Playing Podcast. This question was sent by Leo, and he writes: Good morning, Which of your studies do you recommend for learning repertoire within a short period of time? Thanks, Leo So Ausra, probably Leo needs to learn more repertoire within a week, maybe for his liturgical organ playing or other responsibilities, but he doesn’t have a lot of time. A: Yes, so… V: So he needs shortcuts, right? A: Well, do you think it’s possible to do things in shortcuts? V: I don’t think so, yeah, I’m just trying to refresh my memory from all the courses that we have posted in the Total Organist Training folder. But I don’t think there is any shortcut like this. For example, of course sight reading helps. If you are a really good sight reader, you could learn repertoire quicker or faster. A: Well, I think if you would be a good sight reader and if you would be experienced organist, you wouldn’t ask a similar question. V: Exactly. A: So I get the feeling from this question that skills are not high enough and you still need to do something in a short time, but that’s not how things work. My best advice would be just choose very very easy repertoire. Very easy pieces. At your playing level or even easier. But if you want to work on substantial repertoire and to be ready in short time, it’s only possible if you already have good baggage - lots of pieces that you played in the past and you want to repeat them. Then it’s possible. If you are a really advanced organist. V: That’s true. For example, if Leo looks at our Secrets of Organ Playing store, he could find collections, basically categorized according to the difficulty level - beginning level, basic level, intermediate level, and advanced level. So I don’t know if his level is beginners level or basic level, but certainly not intermediate level. So he could look at these sections and discover some options for himself. A: Yes, because if there would be a secret shortcut, I think everybody would have discovered it by now, and it would not be a secret anymore, and we all would learn hard stuff and difficult pieces in like just a week or a day. V: And that’s true, and when I look at our Organ Sight Reading Master Course, it’s a 40 week course, plus seven weeks of bonus material for legato playing. So basically 47 weeks you are sight reading very very thoroughly, spending quality time on the organ, and it’s still very difficult course, very strenuous activity, you have to commit for 47 weeks. It’s probably almost a year, right? It’s almost a year. So… A: Really, if you want to play organ or any other musical instrument and you want to do it well, and be able to play repertoire at least medium in difficulty or advanced, you need to put a lot of effort into it and a lot of hours. There is no shortcut in things like these. Of course, there might be, I could give you some advice how to learn a piece faster. The tricky thing is you need to take it and to analyze it right away. And if you know how good your technique is or how bad, and what is harder for you and what is easier for you, then you analyze that piece in terms of the technical difficulty as well. And right away you will have to start working on the difficult spots. Not play it from the beginning to the end all the time. That might save you some time. V: I also have a suggestion for the type of repertoire to study. A lot of people, when they start playing the organ, they know of a handful of classical composers, like Bach, maybe some Romantic composers… A: Bach’s D Minor Toccata, Widor’s Toccata, yes? From the Fifth Symphony. V: Yes. Some might know more obviously because they listen to the music more. But still it’s the classical works, standard repertoire. And these works are rather difficult to play for average beginner student. It’s definitely too difficult for beginners in general, but if you have let’s say a decent piano technique and you start to play Bach’s D Minor Toccata, it’s still too difficult when you get to the fugal section. A: But for example, if you need a lot of repertoire, for let’s say service playing… V: Yes… A: Then it’s easier, because there are many many contemporary religious composers who compose music specifically for the church services. V: Exactly. I was going to suggest that instead of looking for Classical pieces, Baroque pieces, or Romantic pieces, people would look at contemporary stuff. Sometimes harmonium pieces from the Romantic period might be accessible as well. They don’t have obbligato pedal part - they could be played with manuals only. It’s possible. But more often than not, as Ausra says, contemporary composers pay attention to the difficulty level that majority of church organists have, and generally speaking, it’s not very difficult level, right? So it could be quite interesting music. If you look at, let’s say what composers like, I don’t know - Phil Lehenbauer - writes. Sometimes we write for similar level pieces also. Not necessarily religious music, not sacred, but let’s say meditations with solo voice in the right hand, like James Michael Stevens writes. It’s very accessible. And it could be effective for some part of meditative music as well. A: But his music I don’t think is suitable for the church because it’s… V: It’s not based on hymns. A: Yes, it’s not sacred, so, it’s really very secular in its titles especially, too. V: There are some exceptions to that, yes, where you could, he has collection called Cantabiles and you could select some Cantabiles. Cantabile is a general title which could work for offertory or communion. But you’re right, Ausra - he is more secular composer. A: And of course, we don’t know what Leo needs. Is he going to prepare a recital program, like free program, or is he a church musician, so we are just talking whatever we can think of. V: Yes, so probably the best suggestion would be to start improving your sight reading skills right away, and music theory and harmony as Ausra said, but also… A: …I haven’t said that yet, but yes, you need to, yes. V: She thinks about that. A: Yes, f you are strong in music theory, then sight reading and learning new music is much easier. V: It’s a different kind of sight reading, because you’re not reading notes only - you’re reading entire textures and you’re making sense of those textures. You know how the piece is put together while you’re just glancing at the score. And it’s revealed in front of you. It’s like the meaning behind the music is quite clear to you what composer did there. Not only wrote a bunch of notes which happen to sound nice, but how they are connected, right? But you need theory and harmony knowledge for that. And of course, choose contemporary collections and majority of pieces for solo right hand would fit in that category. A: And of course, if you have quite good technique and quite good knowledge of music theory, you could also improvise. That would expand your repertoire as well. V: It’s probably even more difficult than just playing contemporary repertoire, right? It’s entirely… A: Of course. V: …different set of skills. A: You need to develop skills for any of these things that we have talked, and it all takes time. So if you want to be famous or to make lots of money, don’t play the organ. You will never be that. V: Leo didn’t say that he wanted to be famous. A: I know, but I just, generic observation. Because in this field of study, there are no shortcuts, really. I wish there would be some. It would be so much easier. V: Yeah, it’s all hard work and quite unrecognized work. You work in solitude, and people don’t see you unless the organ is in front of the church, so you don’t get recognition. A: Of course, some people are more gifted from via nature, via birth than others. And for some people it might come faster naturally. But still even those people need to develop some sort of technique and have knowledge. They have to practice daily and regularly. V: Okay, that’s what we do, too. Every day. A: Every day. V: Even if we’re not preparing for organ recitals, which normally we have once a month on different types of instruments, different programs. We also keep up with our recording sessions, growing our YouTube channels, which requires constant practice and sight reading and polishing new pieces too. A: Yes. V: To stay ahead of the pack, to stay relevant and helpful to other people. Thank you, guys. This was Vidas. A: And Ausra. V: Please send us more of your questions.
