The video emphasizes the importance of incorporating fill-in or passing chords in contemporary Christian music (CCM) to personalize and enhance standard worship songs, moving beyond just the basic chords provided in sheet music. I Introduce the concept of fill-in chords through examples like transitioning from C major to A minor using different inversions and chords, demonstrating how this technique can add musical interest and depth to a song. I provide practical tips on implementing fill-in chords, highlighting the importance of stepwise bass movement and avoiding root position parallels in the right hand to maintain harmonic variety and smooth transitions. An exercise is presented to practice harmonizing the major scale with chords in all 12 keys, aiming to build familiarity and ease in applying fill-in chords within a diatonic context, with a downloadable PDF for reference. The video concludes with advanced tips for adding more complex chord movements to CCM songs, showcasing how strategic chord substitutions and inversions can create richer musical textures and emotional depth in worship music. https://lnkd.in/esi4x8jH

Nobody out there talks about how it all started, and yet it’s one of the most important things to consider… if we want to understand the “real” organ music. Isn’t it funny how organists would ask public funding to pay millions to renovate historical instruments, yet don’t even spend 10 minutes studying actual historic sources themselves? Some call it narcissism, some call it lack of education… Ifor my part would like to spread the knowledge so we can help each other grow and create better quality art in future. So often I would see an organist sit down to play, and somehow can’t help but feel that they’re missing the essence of the instrument. What do we have today? Modern instruments adapted to play modern music. And even if they say it’s neo-baroque or something, that’s just modernize not even bothering to look through the lens of history. That’s why for me it’s historical instruments over everything else. Confirmed over the years time and time again. If you truly want to understand something, you need to step out of yourself and wear a pair of different shoes. With Music it’s no different. I hope we get that soon. #historic #organ #musicianship #organist #earlymusic #musichistory #instrument #leonart #organistlife #organmusic #organbuilding
