GUIDING PRINCIPLES 1. Support the congregation
with confidence, but do not overpower 2. Let the text guide
the registrational plan for the hymn 3. Begin with stops
from the principal chorus, especially at the 8' level 4. 8' and 4' pitches are
minimum for the manual; 16' and 8' are minimum for the pedal 5. Substitute flutes
for principals at 4' and 2' levels as needed to reduce sharpness 6. Use changes of
registration between verses and/or between verse and chorus BASIC HYMN REGISTRATION MEDITATIVE HYMNS Great: Principals 8'
and 4' Pedal: The main 16'
stop, and Great to Pedal Manual
(Great) Pedal Principal, Diapason, or Montre 8' Principal, Subbass, or Bourdon
16' Octave or Prestant 4' Great to
Pedal JUBILANT HYMNS Add the 2' principal on the Great to the meditative hymn

the Swell to Great coupler JUBILANT HYMNS: add the
Great chorus mixture Begin with the Basic Hymn Registration for jubilant hymns (see
