Welcome!
John
Seboldt shares his work as a creative church musician, bringing a wide
background to liturgical worship:
- Origin in a classic Lutheran tradition of hymnody and worship
- Organ performance and service playing in the classic tradition (graduate work at The University of Iowa)
- 16 years of experience in contemporary Roman Catholic worship, balancing classic tradition with newer expressions
- A love of the history and practice of the Church's worship across the ages - "what are we doing, and why"
- An understanding of leading a singing assembly, both the short-run issues (how to play, what helps singing) and the long-term issues (style balance, building a congregation's repertoire systematically)
- An improvisational, spontaneous spirit that brings the right sort of accompaniment to less traditional styles (branching into the piano or synthesizer as needed)
- Motivation and leadership of volunteer parish choirs - consideration balanced with challenge
- Music/liturgy leadership roles in parish and wider church settings (worship committees, diocesan/synod worship boards/commissions)
- Technological support for worship - sound systems, acoustics, computers, publications, organ building/maintenance
Some highlights:
Some
Sunday selections - repertoire
and hymn playing - from Our Savior's Lutheran, Milwaukee
