This issue takes us on a whistle-stop history of the organ; starting from the Renaissance and ending with Ligeti taking in beautiful Italian artwork along the way courtesy of Christopher Stembridge investigating the meaning of Capricci. Also, Dr Timothy Miller has taken time to talk to John Cooper, the man who was lucky enough to train the boys for the first performance of Britten’s War Requiem and play the organ in the first performance.

This issue takes us on a whistle-stop history of the organ; starting from the Renaissance and ending with Ligeti taking in beautiful Italian artwork along the way courtesy of Christopher Stembridge investigating the meaning of Capricci. Also, Dr Timothy Miller has taken time to talk to John Cooper, the man who was lucky enough to train the boys for the first performance of Britten’s War Requiem and play the organ in the first performance.

This issue is the first for James McVinnie, our new Education Editor, and also for Peter King as the new President of the Incorporated Association of Organists. James has therefore contributed the articles for the education section and Peter is introduced in an interview on page 76.

The cover and pull-out image are of Liverpool Cathedral.
