The Aeolian Pipe Organ And Its Music, 2nd edition - by Rollin Smith

$90.00
In 1984, The Boston Organ Club chapter of the Organ Historical Society issued The Johnson Organs, a ground-breaking study by John Van Varick Elsworth. It featured the first published, annotated work list of an American organ builder, and included all 860 of his organs! This 2015 edition, under the affectionate direction of the noted author and historian, Barbara Owen, the Johnson list has been re-annotated in greater detail and brought up to date. Combined with dozens of facsimiles, a year-by year accounting of the firm, and a detailed restoration report by nationally respected organ restorer, Scot L. Huntington,  Stephen L. Pinel and Martin R. Walsh, this 240-page volume is sure to fascinate. The book should be in the library of every devotee of the American pipe organ. 2015; soft cover; 240 pgs, OHS Press.
