This important 1990 book provides a comprehensive survey of English
organ building during the most innovative fifty years in its
history. Between 1820 and 1870 a number of influences combined to
bring about a radical transformation in the design and use of
English organs. Thistlethwaite considers most of the major church,
cathedral and concert organs built during this period and the work
of individual builders is discussed, especially that of William
Hill, whose career forms a linking thread to the narrative. The
book contains valuable sections dealing with business organisation
and workshops, the provision of organs in churches and chapels, and
questions of performance practice. It is richly illustrated with
photographs and specially drawn diagrams and includes an invaluable
appendix of organ specifications. This documentary source book and
history is indispensable for all those, professionals or amateurs,
who have an interest in the organ.
