At some point I will be integrating my blog, Pipes in the Belfry, as a feature of this website. Last year, I started the blog in response to a need at my then-church, then changed webhosts for my official site (this one!)–long story, but I have yet to integrate the two.
Please feel free to read my blog posts as they may interest you. All is going well, thank God, and I hope all is well with you too.
As of today, January 6, my old “nyu.edu” email address is discontinued. Please contact me via jonathan@jonathanbhall.com. If you subscribe to my YouTube channel, that should be continuing without interruption. If I choose to post anything there I will also post a notice here.
Best wishes for a happy 2026.
As of November 1, I become the Director of Music Ministries of Saint John’s Lutheran Church (ELCA), Middletown, New York.
I have more about it on my blog, Pipes in the Belfry.
Middletown is not far from Goshen, where I worked from 2016 until, abruptly, the summer of 2025. As recently as Pentecost–June 8–my plan was “smooth sailing” at First Presbyterian.
Life–actually, the Lord of life–had other plans for me, in order to purify me and also set me free for something better. As a good Lutheran once wrote, and J. S. Bach set to music, Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit!
Note–I plan to integrate my blog into this site, but that will be in the future, so stay up-to-date on Pipes in the Belfry.
This is Jonathan B. Hall’s website, jonathanbhall.com, established December 4, 2001 in a dusty basement office on the Upper East Side and now coming to you from upstate New York.
As of today, September 5, 2025, I am breaking free from my old web host of almost 25 years.
