"This selective critical survey of organ literature from Hofhaimer and Paumann to the present day is a useful guide both for the organist seeking repertoire and for the listener looking for brief analyses of organ works encountered in recitals or on record. It has been a standard work in Germany for more than a generation, appearing in five editions. It is now translated into English for the first time. Organists in the English-speaking countries will find the author's continental perspective of particular interest, as he treats fully many significant composers--Hermann Grabner, Willy Burkhard, Günter Raphael, and Joseph Ahrens are only a few examples--whose works are frequently performed in Germany yet remain almost unknown in America and England. This guide may therefore suggest a largely unexplored realm of music written for the classically-oriented instrument that awaits the adventurous organist. The chronological survey of composers treats all of the standard repertoire by familiar composers, and includes as well some works by composers too little known: Johann Ernst Eberlin and Bohuslav Cernohorsky in the 18th century and Gustav Merkel in the 19th are examples. This edition includes addenda on British and American organ music by the well-known American organist Lee Garrett, expanding the scope of Lukas's work. Musical examples show principal themes of selected works, and publishers are listed for each composer."--Dust jacket.

In the middle of the nineteenth-century, American organbuilding reached a milestone when, in 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, a large concert organ - really the first of its kind in the country - was opened in Boston's relatively-new Music Hall. Visually and musically it was regarded as a sensation, as it put a stamp of approval on paid-admission secular organ recitals, and quickly opened the door to a spate of American-built concert hall organs. The composition of large-scale secular organ works soon followed, written by American composers recently returned from study in European conservatories.This is the story of that catalytic instrument, known then and now as the Great Organ: its checkered history, and, perhaps most intriguingly, the varied and colorful cast of characters who conceived and financed it, built and rebuilt it, played it, made recordings on it, wrote about it, maintained it, rescued it from time to time, and continue to ensure that its voice continues to be heard. The Great Organ is now housed in its present purpose-built concert hall, north of Boston in the town of Methuen, Massachusetts. How it got there and how it remained there is only a part of its story.
