“The Sounds of Worship”
As a very young college student, the Chairman of the Music Department (whom I later discovered was both an Organist and Choir Master), invited me to take an Organist position for a congregation in
Scottsdale, AZ. Years later while studying Pipe Organ privately, I realized there is nomenclature which properly explained sounds emanating by air flow through each pipe. Indeed, “Diapason 8’” was not the sound of “a cloth diaper swishing around in a diaper pail”. 😊
When contemplating appropriate terms to describe those who are Organists, Choir Directors, Musicians, Soloists, and/or Choir Members, the nomenclature encompassing all in the myriad sounds of Congregational
worship are as varied as the pipes in the Pipe Organ ranks...
