Abstract: The Organ as a Mirror of Its Time is directed at two primary audiences— organists (due to the jargon and detailed organ speciacations) and historians of music, religion, intellectual trends, and technology. The pipe organ is an inherently interdisciplinary topic, since one must confront the physical (mechanical, architectural) and cultural (musical, religious) aspects of its creation and use. As Snyder states, “It is the central thesis of this book that organs have stories to tell about the times in which they were built that go far beyond the music that was played on them”.
