Modern American organ building increasingly uses the basic principles of the European organ-reform movement and is now essentially based upon the traditions of the 17th and 18th century German and French schools. The resumption of the handcraft and artistic principles of the past is not due to any desire to copy the old, but to facilitate the musical needs of today. This bilingual Compendium is an extended presentation of contemporary mechanical organ building for organists, students of organ playing, organ builders, choir directors, teachers, church-architects, and clergymen. 8.5x9.5", xii+470 pp., many b&w photographs.
