Description

The Organ and Church Music: Two Discourses is a book written by George Edward Ellis and published in 1852. The book consists of two discourses that explore the importance of music in the church and the role of the organ in enhancing religious worship. The first discourse delves into the history of music in the church, tracing its origins back to the Old Testament and highlighting the significance of music in religious ceremonies. The second discourse focuses on the organ, discussing its history, construction, and use in the church. Ellis also provides practical advice for organists and choir directors on how to select appropriate music and use the organ effectively in worship. Overall, The Organ and Church Music is a comprehensive guide for anyone interested in the history and practice of church music, and an essential resource for musicians, musicologists, and church leaders alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
