Illustrations in choir accompaniment : with hints in registration : a hand-book (provided with marginal notes for reference) for the use of organ students, organists, and those interested in church music . ort the chorus. If the organ is provided with a reversible pedal to bring on and throw off the Great toPedal Coupler, as happily most of our modern iiistiimients are (and always should he), the matterbecomes simple enough. As it is e\ident, from the nature of the passage, that the left hand cannot be spared to draw the coupler in default of the above arrangement (and our older organs donot possess it), it is preferable to dispense wuth it at the chorus points rather than mutilate thesolo passages. In other words, not to couple with the Gi-eat Organ at all. An intelligent pupilshould be able, after a careful examination of the previous example, to ajjply the princijjletherein contained to hundreds of analogous cases. It is hardly necessary to say that, in manyinstances, only the simultaneous shifting of hands from one manual to another will properlyexpress the contrast oi folate and fiano required.

From this point,both hands should unite upon the Swell. Octave passages of the character of the melody in Example 107 may usually be renderedlegato (when executed forte upon the Great Organ) by a substitution of the left hand for theright in playing some of the lower tones of the octave passage.
