Would love to publish an arrangement of God Bless America but it is still under copyright. Sorry about that.

Comment on How to Enrich Your Congregational Singing by David Miller

Have played both in churches where we had piano and organ and in churches with only piano (currently working piano only), this is what has worked for me – assuming that your organist is a strict note-player, you build your arrangements around the score that she is playing, making certain that all the harmonies and rhythms blend correctly. Keep in mind that if you need the organist to play something not in the original score this assumes that you will notate the change and get it to her with time to learn it. (Much easier now than in the pre-PC, pre-Finale/Sibelius/etc. days!)

Hope this helps some.

Correct to your questions about the damper (sustain pedal).

I use the far left pedal (soft) pedal along with the sustain IF I need to play soft…like during background playing during invitation at church.

So overall “with pedal” means hands and pedal go down on the first chord, and you start with the pedal down when you start with single notes? And also, do you use the left pedal?
