American organist David Craighead's influence in the United States
and abroad is widespread and extensive: 37 years as professor of
organ at the Eastman School of Music, 48 years as church organist
at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Rochester, New York, and 64 years
performing in over 275 cities as a concert organist. His name has
become synonymous with excellence in organ pedagogy and performance
in the 20th century. In David Craighead: Portrait of an American
Organist, Tandy Reussner presents the full story of the artist's
life, told with quotes and anecdotes from Craighead himself as well
as from his fellow colleagues and former students. Reussner
references historical events in the framework of Craighead's life,
from changes in pipe organ construction to the riots of the 1960s,
to provide the full context of a musician in 20th-century America.
The book also contains facsimiles of musical examples, personal
memorabilia, letters, and recital programs. Additional reference
information includes a complete listing of his recitals from 1942
to 1998, a comprehensive list of his repertoire, a full
discography, and a unique compilation of photos.
