Century of American Organ 1776-1876

Volume Two of A CENTURY OF AMERICAN ORGAN MUSIC (1776-1876) is intended as a supplement to the collection of the same title previously issued (Volume One #DM00048). The historical period covered is the same, and works by some of the same composers are included, along with works by certain of their contemporaries not included in the previous volume. The majority of pieces found in Volume Two are being made available for the first time in a modern edition. The aim, as in the previous collection, has been to compile a representative selection of pieces played by American organists during America's first century, from the simple voluntaries of the post-colonial period, to the more complex works of the 19th century era of organ recitals.Owen, Barbara is the author of 'Century of American Organ 1776-1876' with ISBN 9780769259826 and ISBN 0769259820.
