Barbara Owen has prepared the first work to present in a single
book the registrational practices of organists from c.1550 to 1800.
The four parts of the book move from the Renaissance through the
Early, High, and Late Baroque. Each part starts with a brief
description of the political and religious climate of the period
and the way such factors affected the compositions and the
organ-building of the time."
