Because it has always represented a
rich collaboration of the music, art, architecture, handicraft and
science of its day, the organ, more than any other instrument, continues
to reflect the spirit of the age in which it was built. The Organ as a
Mirror of its Time, the first book to consider this instrument's
historical and cultural significance, reflects the efforts of twenty
leading scholars of the organ.L The book chronicles the history of six
organs in Scandinavia and Northern Germany, at least one specimen for
every century from 1600 to the present. By considering their original
contexts and their histories since they were built, as well as the
extraordinary coincidences that link them together, the book offers a
unique perspective on the cultural history of northern Europe.
