DOWNLOAD EBOOKMost books dealing with the history of the organ have confined themselves to a single period, area, or even country. This invaluable new work is the first complete survey of the organ ever to have been made in any language. The author firmly bases his interpretations and judgment on extant documents whenever possible, on his practical experience in playing organs all over Europe, and on his close examination of a great variety of instruments at different stages of restoration or transformation. Eight chapters are devoted to the early period and four to the Renaissance. Then individual chapters consider the French classical organ, the organ of Bach, the Spanish baroque organ, the Italian baroque organ, the English organ before 1800, and the northern European organ. The final eight chapters discuss developments in the 19th and 20th centuries. Supplementing the text are a glossary and plates illustrating a full range of organs that are typical of their kind. The eminent English musicologist, organist, and harpsichordist, Peter (Fredric) Williams ranks among the foremost authorities on the organ.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFor centuries, pipe organs stood at the summit of musical and technological achievement, admired as the most complex and intricate mechanisms the human race had yet devised. In All The Stops, New York Times journalist Craig Whitney journeys through the history of the American pipe organ and brings to life the curious characters who have devoted their lives to its music. From the mid-19th to the mid-20th century, organ music was wildly popular in America. Organ builders in New York and New England could hardly fill the huge demand for both concert hall and home organs. Master organbuilders found ingenious ways of using electricity to make them sound like orchestras. Organ players developed cult followings and bitter rivalries. One movement arose to restore to American organs the clarity and precision that baroque organs had in centuries past, while another took electronic organs to the rock concert halls, where younger listeners could be found. But while organbuilders and organists were fighting with each other, popular audiences lost interest in the organ. Today, organs are beginning to make a comeback in concert halls and churches across America. Craig Whitney brings the story to life and up to date in a humorous, engaging book about the instruments and vivid personalities that inspired his lifelong passion: the great art of the majestic pipe organ.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Organ and Its Masters: An Account of the Organists of Former Days, As Well As Some of the Prominent Virtuosi of the Present, With a Brief Sketch of the Development of Organ Construction is written by Henry C. Lahee, American author and musician. Historically the use of the organ was limited to laity and the compositions were primarily sacred. Lahee emphasizes the modern shift towards demand for organ music in the secular tradition and the recent surge in secular organ composition, making this book a much-needed exploration of the past, present and future of the organ. The primary focus of the text is to serve as a thorough biography of noted organists throughout the tradition, from early to modern times; the secondary focus of the book is to provide information on the evolution of organ building and organ playing over the past few centuries. Lahee's passion for the organ as an instrument suited to both secular and sacred works is evident on every page.
