	Organist - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Worldwide, the greatest number of organists are principally involved in church music, due to the vital role that the organ plays in traditional Christian worship.
		Organists are expected to accompany congregational singing of hymns, accompany the choir, and provide solo music for preludes, postludes, and covering music during otherwise silent portions of the worship service.
		In Europe, the historical importance of churches as employers of musicians meant that many composers not now remembered for their association with the organ nevertheless were engaged as professional organists: for example, Mozart, Reger, and Elgar.

	The Art of being a Substitute Organist
		It is imperative that the organist be familiar with the feel of their control system before playing for a live audience.
		If the substitute organist falls asleep during a service, it is usually the end of their career (at least as a respected musician).
		However difficult it is to perform at a familiar service, it is much more so when the substitute organist tries to play for a service that they have not had the opportunity to work at before.

		Named the Commercial Data Systems concert organ, it was built specifically for the Honolulu Symphony and Blaisdell Concert Hall and designed by Mark Wong, President of CDS and long-time associate of the symphony, first as a performer then later as a supporter.
		In organ concertos, virtuosity tends to slip past unnoticed: the organist's hands and feet may be flying and their eyes looking 10 places at once, but they sit ramrod straight, their deceptively still backs to the audience, and about half of everything they play gets attributed to the orchestra.
		There is no visual flash to organists: it's all in the sound.
