I was a bit surprised when you wrote you composed something for chruch service and it turned out to be piano music.
Guess I'm a bit single minded in thinking organ music is thé music for church. Nice piece though, certainly for 15 minutes of composing.

Do you have ever written something for organ?

First of all, I appreciate your feedback very much! I will admit that I did not compose this in 15 minutes. The place I wrote that in the article was referring to a specific transition section in the piece. I wish I could compose that fast, but I don't event think I could copy this piece in 15 minutes, much less go through the process of writing it. I certainly appreciate your sentiment though!

I will also admit that I am quite new to the organ. I am trying to learn (through lessons with someone at the church which I am going to pay for with some of my salary). But for now, I have been sticking to piano for services. I would not say I have truly written anything for organ because I do not understand it enough yet to write competently for it. I would appreciate any advice you have for these beginning stages of learning (in regards to repertoire, understanding the instrument, and exercises). I hope to eventually be competent enough to write for the organ. Thank you again for taking the time to read this article, and thank you for your response!
