Easter tops the charts, whether you are low church or high church. I started the prelude time with the most famous organ piece, Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor. There are plenty on youtube. Here's one. I ended the prelude time with a short improv on blue hymnal #276, This joyful Eastertide.
On the first two hymns, #280 Christ the Lord is Risen Today and #116 Crown Him with many crowns, I played a short transition to a half step higher for the final (and 5th) verses.
To bring more Easter tunes to people's remembrances, during the offertory I did a medley of #275 Lift your glad voices, #271 Christ is arisen, and #266 They crucified my Savior.
We sent them home with Widor's famous Toccata.
