Journal Article
Lacunae in Organ History
2025
Overview
In addition to books on the more prominent organ areas in Europe, our understanding of organ history would be increased if we had works in English on, for example, organs in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, and other lesser-known regions. In addition to histories of significant organs, historians of the organ and organbuilders need more books containing detailed technical descriptions of important instruments. There are numerous books about historic organs with pipe measurements, but I am thinking about complete descriptions of organs with illustrations and measurements of all parts, such as Die Stellwagen- Orgel in Sankt Marien zu Stralsund: Eine Bestandsaufnahme, Chronik und Dokumentation (2006), the four volumes of the GOArt organ documentation reports (2000- 2007), or the Harley Monographs prepared by the English organbuilder Goetze & Gwynn (1990-2018).% In particular, the great historic organs of Europe restored with public funds have already been fully documented, and this technical information should be made available to all. Knowing how many exemplars of a particular title survived and where these books are found establishes useful data points in evaluating the influence and distribution of historic treatises.
