Excerpt from The Story of the Organ The object of this little work is to give an outline of the history of that wonderful outcome of human ingenuity and skill known as the organ, from documentary evidence, apart from the vague speculations of Kircher and others. The known history of the organ begins with the machine of Ctesibius, of Alexandria, in which air was forced into a trumpet by the efforts of water to "rise to its own level." In mediaeval times the force of gravity replaced that of water, weights being placed on a bellows, from which the air was thus driven into the pipes with the requisite strength. Speculations as to the nature of the organs mentioned in Genesis and elsewhere in the Scriptures have no bearing on the history of the instrument, for when, during the Reformation, the Bible was translated into various modern languages, the translators, knowing nothing of the instruments there mentioned, simply made use of musical terms familiar to them.

Excerpt from The Story of Organ Music Since it is not convenient to add a second volume of musical illustrations, as Ritter was able to do, Ihave had to content myself with a few quotations in an Appendix. I have given the whole of a Toccata by Pasquini, whose Works were supposed until recently to have been lost to the world; and the style of Elizabethan organ music is exemplified by a Choralvorspiel by Dr. John Bull, the most famous English organist of his day. I take this opportunity of acknowledging the courtesy of the Curators of the Schools of Oxford University in allowing me to reproduce their portrait of this great musician, which will be found facing page 192.
