Organists are often called upon to improvise, be it to fill a gap, create a mood, or to continue playing on from a hymn to 'cover the action'. Some organists also like to vary the harmony supporting hymn tunes to reflect a change of mood in the words or to add a touch of color. This collection of hymn tune harmonizations is offered as a resource for those organists who might like to improvise or vary their accompaniments, but who have not yet developed the skill to do so without guidance. These middle-verse harmonizations are for the most part restrained and should not startle the congregation or distract from the liturgy, while allowing a fuller range of harmonic avenues to be explored before returning to a familiar standard setting.
