The written documentation of the restoration effort to save the magnificent Tannenberg organ in the Home Moravian Church in Salem, North Carolina, which was completed in 1800. The historical importance of Tannenberg's organ was recognized at the time of its dismantling, and it was not destroyed, but remained in storage in various locations for 88 years. Since its restoration, nearly 200 years of the organ's history have been deciphered and analyzed. With meticulous care and understanding, the organ has been returned to its original state, musically and visually, and now stands in Old Salem as a tribute to the talent and craftsmanship of a master organ builder, David Tannenberg, and the remarkable musical achievement he created in the North Carolina backcountry.

Pipe Organs of Arlington Massachusetts - by Alan M. Laufman

$29.95
This anthology presents many of the literary expressions from writers who have tried to capture the magic of the organ for more than 2000 years-in poetry and prose, in stories, in factual and fictional accounts, in simile, and in metaphor. Literature by approximately 100 different authors, from Geoffrey Chaucer to Emily Dickinson, to Garrison Keillor, George Bernard Shaw, and Virgil Thomson, among others, are linked with commentary, background, and biographical information. This is a book with a wide variety of moods, just as the organ is an instrument with a wide variety of sounds. All are sure to appeal to the lover of our favorite, gloriously melodic instrument.
