I am playing for an ordination service next month and have several pieces picked out already but am wondering if anyone has any favorite postludes to play at such a service. I am organist/choirmaster at a very traditional 1928 BCP parish, if that helps and I play a small organ made by the NORD company but do have a full AGO pedalboard attached. I have found that pieces like the Widor toccata and similar fare don't sound very good on this instrument so big symphonic works are probably out. I've tried them before and this little guy really sounds too electronic to do them justice. Thanks for any suggestions anyone cares to make.

How big is the space? How many people does it hold? Good acoustic - some reverb in the room, or a dead space? These things can help to choose the right piece for the occasion and the location.
