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
