Rodgers Trilogy - Great Division

Pedal Division ( Cont'd)
When Pedal upper voices are needed in the above suggestions, the Pedal couplers
are used. Most generally used is the Great to Pedal coupler, since the stops set
on the Great usually determine the basic dynamic strength of the organ.
In some of the more complex forms of contrapuntal music, the Pedal is often called
upon to furnish a distinctive third VOice, such as in Trio Sonatas and Chorale Pre-
ludes. The Pedal couplers make available all of the Great and Swell upper work and
Reeds required by this style of music.
GREAT DIVISION
The Great is used in general church music for hymns and major anthem and solo ac-
companiments.
Primarily intended for ensemble or homophonic texture, the Great
is played "both hands" in these functions.
