O Come, O Come, Emmanuel ( Veni, Veni, Emmanuel) S. Metzger Hymn Arrangement Viscount Ouverture

Samuel Metzger is an American organist and composer. He served as senior organist at Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church (PCA), Fort Lauderdale, FL (successor of Diane Bish, I presume), and he is currently organist music associate at Covenant Presbyterian Church (PCA) in Nashville, TN. I recently bought a collection of hymns that he arranged, and today I am playing one based on the popular O come, o Come, Emmanuel (Veni, Veni, Emmanuel). I suppose that having served at the same church where Diane Bish was organist for many years must have influenced Mr. Metzger s compositional style; the sudden modulations that he adds to the piece are a clear trademark of Diane Bish s arrangements. This is the perfect piece to make a lot of noise, so I did not miss the chance to pull out all the stops (and couplers) of my fantastic Viscount Ouverture. Enjoy , viscount, ocomeocomeemmanuel, hymn
