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.Cambridge companions to music.Organ (Musical instrument)Organ musicHistory and criticismOrgan (Musical instrument)Organ musicHistory and criticism.786.5Thistlethwaite NicholasWebber GeoffreyUkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK996210330203316The Cambridge companion to the organ2580151UNISAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
