…a selective survey of some recently issued recordings devoted to organ music from the period 1600-1750, everything from Boyvin to Casini plus Bach, Handel and Buxtehude, too!

…in the company of guest commentator and biographer Kerala Snyder, we explore the profoundly influential music of the “Great Dane” of the German Baroque organ scene.

…a spirit of intimate reflection and anticipation is inherent in music for the weeks before Christmas.

…where the sound of history comes alive in the home territory of Arp Schnitger and Dieterich Buxtehude.

One of the world’s best known texts provides us with glimpses into the composer’s craft and the organbuilder’s art, plus a meditative tribute to dads everywhere.
