GUIDE TO YOUR LOCAL ORGANIST (Purely fictional. Any similarities between this guide and anyone living or dead is pure coincidence. In honor of St Cecilias feast.) Your organist plays : Bach prelude and fugue; organist happy. French toccata; organist very happy. French toccata at double speed; organist had too much coffee before Mass. Improvisation on Latin hymn; organist has lost glasses. Improvisation on vernacular hymn; organist has lost temper. Unexpected silence; organist has gone to sleep. Abrupt, boisterous intro to next hymn; organist has woken up.
