A History of British Organs - A Selection of Classic Articles on Organ Building, Temple Organ, and Famous Organs of Cambridge and Hull (Paperback)

"A History of British Organs" contains a fantastic selection of vintage articles on the subject of the organ, chiefly dealing with organ building and notable British organs, their builders, and players. These detailed and comprehensive articles will appeal to those with an interest in learning about the history of the organ in England, and they are not to be missed by collectors of vintage literature of this ilk. Contents include: "The Early English Builders and Their Work - From the Fifteenth Century to the Period of the Great Rebellion, an Unwritten Chapter in the History of the Organ - Edward F. Rimbault", "A History of Hull Organs and Organists - Together with an Account of the Hull Music Festivals, and the Formation of the Various Musical Societies in the Town - G. H. Smith", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of the organ.
