 | Cambridge Companion to the Organ Reference Book
Cambridge 575842 Cover slightly shop-soiled, otherwise as new.
Edited by Nicholas Thistlethwaite, Guildford Cathedral & Geoffrey Webber, University of Cambridge.
This Companion is an essential guide to all aspects of the organ and its music. It examines in turn the instrument, the player and the repertoire. The early chapters tell of the instrument’s history and construction, identify the scientific basis of its sounds and the development of its pitch and tuning, examine the history of the organ case, and consider the current trends and conflicts within the world of organ building. Central chapters investigate the practical art of learning and playing the organ, introduce the complex area of performance practice, and outline the relationship between organ playing and the liturgy of the church. The final section explores the vast repertoire of organ music, focusing on a selection of the most important traditions.
This is the most authoritative reference book about the organ currently available. The contributors are all experts in their field. The volume examines in turn the instrument, the player and performance practices, and the repertoire.
