It has unique characteristics that bind it more closely than any other instrument to its location, to social and economic changes, and to fluctuations in musical taste. Immigration, wars, industrial growth, the availability of electricity, the popularity of orchestral music, and the invention of the phonograph and of the player piano all had a part in determining the course of American organ history. Orpha Ochse provides descriptions and specifications of instruments representative of the various periods of organ building: from the small tracker-action organs built by the colonists to the electropneumatic monsters of the early twentieth century to today's repertoire-oriented instruments. She shows how the design is affected by the intended use of the organ?in a church, a home, or a concert hall?and by the music written for it. This comprehensive account of the development of the organ in the United States will be valuable not only to players and builders but also to students of Americana. 606 $aOrgels$2gtt 606 $aOrgan (Musical instrument)$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01047572 606 $aOrgan builders$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01047586 606 $aFacteurs d'orgues$zE?tats-Unis 606 $aOrgue$xHistoire 606 $aOrgue$zE?tats-Unis 606 $aOrgan builders$zUnited States 606 $aOrgan (Musical instrument)$zUnited States$xHistory 607 $aUnited States$2fast 608 $aHistory. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 10$aOrgels. 615 0$aOrgan (Musical instrument) 615 0$aOrgan builders. 615 0$aFacteurs d'orgues 615 0$aOrgue$xHistoire. 615 0$aOrgue 615 0$aOrgan builders 615 0$aOrgan (Musical instrument)$xHistory. 700 $aOchse$b Orpha$f1925-$01168403 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910524855803321 996 $aThe History of the Organ in the United States$92720970 997 $aUNINA
