When considering the \u201c<a href=\"\/blog\/organ-vs-piano\/\">organ vs piano<\/a>\u201d, it&#8217;s essential to note the unique characteristics of each instrument. A church organ can have up to 4 \u201cmanuals\u201d, each one looking like a short piano keyboard. Apart from the manuals (played with the hands), church organs also have a \u201cpedalboard\u201d with black and white keys arranged like a piano keyboard which operate the lowest notes.\u00a0 Called \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/music\/tomserviceblog\/2010\/apr\/01\/organ-music-llandaff-cathedral\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the king of instruments<\/a>\u201d for a reason &#8211; the organ can make earth-shaking, goose-bump raising sounds.<\/p>\n<p>Listen to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nrI2sBiIDxE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8220;Christ the Lord is Risen Today\u201d<\/a>, arranged by Rutter here for a stirring rendition of bells, organ, choir and orchestra.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Easter_Piano_music\"><\/span>Easter Piano music<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The only thing better than listening to such inspiring music is to be able to sit at the piano and play some uplifting Easter songs yourself!\u00a0 We\u2019ve chosen the top ten songs we think you\u2019ll love playing for your family this Easter.
