Organ Improvisation for Church Services: A Survey of Improvisation Methods from 1900

Abstract Details

2011, DMA, University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music: Organ.
This document aims to provide a survey of organ improvisation methods from 1900 onward for use in modern church services. As a survey on this subject has not been recently done in English speaking countries, I have confidence that this document will serve an important role in developing this area. My specific intent is to provide a useful and significant resource for church organists who wish to improvise preludes, interludes, offertories, and postludes based on the melodies used for their weekly services. On a broader scale, it is my hope that this work will contribute to the development and reformation of service music through the use of creative organ improvisation.
