Playing Notes for The Sampler

1. Registrations

The registrations for The Sampler and other works in the 21st Century Organ Series following piston settings recommended and explained in The Instant Organist, which can be downloaded free, at this time, in its entirety at www.froglegmusic.com.

Excerpted charts from The Instant Organist are attached to the pdf file you can download on the left side of this page.

2. When I Survey

The rationale behind When I survey was that a chorus is a chorus, but there's nothing like a good hymn sung with organ accompaniment. So for that reason, the work starts with MIDI & Organ, and after the Behold Chorus, the organ takes over and has the freedom to shine on, doing grand musical expression of phrases and ritards and all to really get under the people and let them SING!

That's why the MIDI file stops when it does.

3. The Order of MIDI files on the Disk.

The PR-300 and PR-300s seem to read files differently, and though we have occasional access to both devices, we have not been able to yet pin down what we have to do to get both boxes playing SMF MIDI Files in order...so please follow the titles in the window untilowe get this figured out.

Thank you all for your patience!
