    I am accompanying a string quartet on Corelli's Christmas Concerto. What registration would be appropriate?

    What organ stops are available for you?

    Anything you can think of .. We have a digital 5 manual monster ... full ranges of principals, flutes, and reeds.

    Flutes 8' and 4' (add 2' for organ heavy sections) and principals 8' and 4' for any sections where strings out weigh the organ.

    My suggestion would be a lot like ref_scott's, except that in the ripieno sections I would play Principals 8' and 2' and leave out the 4'. I would definitely do the 8' 4' flutes for the concertino sections, and maybe just 8' depending on your players and the general "presence" of the flute stops.
