VIDEO explaining the website “Resources for LDS Organists”
The site’s purpose is to provide help for organists in planning their music for church service from a list of available hymn arrangements and accompaniments that DeeAnn Stone began to compile in 1993. The site now has many more resources and helps added to it from the time the site was first launched on March 17, 1999.
For the 20th anniversary of the Resources for LDS Organists website on March 17, 2019, DeeAnn updated and compiled a larger list of arrangements for hymns and free accompaniments called a “Resource List for Organists: Arrangements and Accompaniments of Hymns in the LDS Hymnal.” This is a larger list than what appeared on the website in 1999. With the addition of the newer arrangements, the list became so large it became too time consuming to upload each title to the site with all the links. So DeeAnn combined the old and new lists into a 459-page eBook for people to purchase to use whenever they want.
The PDF eBook can be purchased at Resources for LDS Organists for $25. There are three other purchasing options, too, if organists don’t want to buy the entire eBook. (A hard copy isn’t available, however, because of the length of the eBook, making it too expensive to print and mail.)
While at Resources for LDS Organists, be sure to see other information and helps for organists, especially the links to videos created by the National AGO to aid new organists in learning how to play the organ, as well as more videos from other sources.
There’s also other information at the website that would help organ students and new ward organists (plus helps for Primary Music Directors). Enjoy!
