This volume explores twentieth-century organ music through in-depth
studies of the principal centers of composition, the most
significant composers and their works, and the evolving role of the
instrument and its music. The twentieth-century was a time of
unprecedented change for organ music, not only in its composition
and performance but also in the standards of instrument design and
building. Organ music was anything but immune to the complex
musical, intellectual, and socio-political climate of the time.
Twentieth-Century Organ Music examines the organ's repertory from
the entire period, contextualizing it against the background of
important social and cultural trends. In a collection of twelve
essays, experienced scholars survey the dominant geographic centers
of organ music (France, the Netherlands, Scandinavia, the United
States, and German-speaking countries) and investigate the
composers who made important contributions to the repertory (Reger
in Germany, Messiaen in France, Ligeti in Eastern and Central
Europe, Howells in Great Britain). Twentieth-Century Organ Music
provides a fresh vantage point from which to view one of the
twentieth century's most diverse and engaging musical spheres.
