The Church Pianist: Using Choir Arrangements for Offertories

Have you ever thought of using a choir arrangement for an offertory?

Choir arrangements are suited well for piano & organ offertories. The pianist plays the piano accompaniment and the organist plays the choir parts.

Just remember, the piano accompaniment doesn’t usually carry the melody. Therefore, the pianist must lower his or her volume in order for the organ’s melody to be heard.
Balance is the key!

Have fun trying out your choir arrangements for offertories!
