Let us see if this is really the case. There is a very growing tendency to study effect too much in the musical portion of the service, and this is one great drawback to congregational singing. It has become a fashion at certain verses, or portions of verses, of the Psalms, for instance, to shut off the organ and to order the choir to sing pianissimo, with the result of quite stopping any member of the congregation who may be joining in the service. Light and shade there should and must be, but the shade is too often carried out to a mischievous degree.
