Incredibly ...

    At the risk of sounding incredibly [ fill in word ] . . . I would like to recommend a piece to everyone (that I like for . . . obviously selfish reasons).

    I have had a good amount of success with this piece.

    It is a Responsorial Psalm in honor of Blessed Hugh Faringdon. It is used at FUNERALS and also for ALL SOULS' DAY.

    It is available for free here: St. Noel Chabanel Responsorial Psalms

    It has organ accompaniment, but it also sounds good a cappella.

    This seems as good a place as any to tell you that I have had great reaction to your march, Spes Salvi.
    A bride-to-be at a wedding planning meeting last week hummed it to me and said she'd heard me play it, and could she use it for the wedding? (The groom also loved it, his only other request was "some Tallis.")

    Wow! Thanks!

    I wrote that when I was learning to play pedals :-) (can you tell?)

    Ooops... now you know why I like it so much (among other reasons)

    And that's why I love it because I have short legs and often get hired to play in churches with tall benches. Fortunately, I'm working right now in a church that had a very short organist for over 30 years, so the bench that worked for him, works for me.

    You can sound smashing with or without pedals. Everyone who hears it adores it. And it always makes me smile.
