Summary:
Looks at the development of the organ during the 17th and 18th centuries, focusing on exceptional composers of organ music from Sweelinck, the 'maker of organists'; through to Buxtehude; and the 'golden age' of J.S. Bach. Also looks at the use of organ music in worship and the influence of the great German school of organ builders in northern Europe.
