Choirs, Bands and Organs
A History of Church Music in Northamptonshire and Rutland
by Hilary Davidson
This fascinating book, the result of many years research, contains chapters on all aspects of church music within these two counties: the choirs and bands that first accompanied services; the growth and development of organs in the area; the music written for services; musical personalities and organ-builders connected with the area; and the history of the organs of Peterborough Cathedral. In addition, two extensive gazetteers record known details of music and organs for each church in Northamptonshire and Rutland. We believe it to be the first work of this nature to be written about two English counties.
