MIT Press announces a new book, Electronic Baroque: Building a Historical Organ for the Present (9780262553636, $60.00 paperback), by Peter F. Peters, endowed professor in the Innovation of Classical Music at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, Maastricht University, and director of the Maastricht Centre for the Innovation of Classical Music.
In 2013 Orgelpark in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, embarked on a project to make a new Baroque organ, a project combining principles and practices from historically informed organbuilding with the design and application of computer hardware and software. The author describes and analyzes how the dual design of the organ, facing both past and present, reiterates the long history of these instruments.
