SOPP712: How to accompany the choir for the choral anthem from a piano score at the organ

Let’s start episode 712 of Secrets of Organ Playing Podcast. This question was sent by Jim, and he writes:
“There is a topic that I, and probably every other church organist on here, would like for you to cover. And that is how to accompany the choir for the choral anthem from a piano score at the organ.
It is a nightmare. Usually if there is a piano available, I will move to the piano to accompany the choral anthem at the piano, and I think the congregation and the choir and the Choir Director seem to prefer it. I know I prefer doing that, but sometimes there is no piano available.
Thank you.
A fan.
Jim”
