Purpose of prelude:
To create a sense of readiness in the hearts of God’s people.
Preludes also rally everyone to the auditorium!
What’s a prelude?
It’s the music played prior to the church service. Fast to medium speed tempos work well. I enjoy playing thematic preludes. When possible, it’s nice to correlate the prelude with the pastor’s upcoming message.
Sample of a thematic prelude
(Mix the songs according to tempos; I usually play 2 verses of each)
Suggested length of preludes: At least 7 minutes
There is a Fountain (medium tempo)
Nothing but the Blood (fast tempo)
The Cleansing Wave (medium)
When I See the Blood (fast)
Glory to His Name (medium)
