The final prelude was the Tune called Forest Green, found in our blue hymnal at #159. The tune is an English folk tune, found in most hymnals, but not associated with any one particular hymn (the words).
Is the prelude to soothe the ruffled spirit or awaken the heart? I usually do the soothing one minute before 10 a.m. This time I chose a stronger sound right up to 10 a.m.
Before this number, in view of our church calendar being in Lent, I played a complex but easy to follow arrangement of the classic German chorale tune associated with Unser Vater, or the hymn version of the Lord's Prayer.
Did you hear the chimes right after the benediction, before I blasted into the postlude? That was the very final phrase of "God Be With You Till We Meet Again."
