Book Synopsis The Organ in Western Culture, 750-1250 by : Peter Williams
Book excerpt: How did the organ become a church instrument? In this fascinating investigation Peter Williams speculates on this question and suggests some likely answers. Central to the story he uncovers is the liveliness of European monasticism around 1000 and the ability and imagination of the Benedictine reformers.
