Yeah, I can imagine how Easter (and Christmas, and some other holiday-ish seasons) are busy for you. Job drawbacks, so to speak… And about resources: I grew up with a small church with an amazingly talented organist. He wrote his own masses, and sorties, and all that — and he had the most pitiful choir I’ve ever seen. Honestly, if they hit the right now, it was by accident. He had to work around that to get anything done. I’m pretty spoiled these days.

I’m always amazed by organists and their ability to improvise so well. I never checked, but I bet they learn that during their training (and wikipedia says they do, no surprise there). It’s something I could never figure out. I can improvise in singing (well, I can just sing random stuff, if you want to call that “improvising”), but not at all with an instrument.

Oh, and the Sato mass? Not too bad. I liked it. It wasn’t my favorite music ever, but I can see how that style could work for certain game music. It felt very… ethereal, for the lack of a better word.
