S1Ep4. Creating Variety in Piano Hymn Accompaniments – Christopher Evatt
Even though the piano has more uniformity in sound than an organ with its many colors of stops, there are still many ways to create variety and draw out the meaning of the text when playing hymns on the piano. Whether you’re principally a pianist, or an organist who occasionally finds yourself at the piano, this session will provide you with various techniques to enliven your piano hymn accompaniment.
Bio:
Christopher Evatt has over 20 years of church music experience and is currently serving as director of parish music at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Edmond, Okla., where he oversees the traditional music program. He is principal organist and pianist, directs the choral and handbell ensembles and spearheaded the installation of a new 4-manual Walker organ in 2023. He regularly composes and improvises for services and has led Reformation Day chorale sings and music reading instructional sessions for the congregation. Dr. Evatt received his Doctor of Musical Arts from the Eastman School of Music and studied organ with John Ferguson, Judith Hancock and Malcolm Matthews.
