Pierre Dubois, The Organ and Society : Identity and Role Changing in Eighteenth- Century England
Contrary to the situation on the European continent, the English organ of the eighteenth century played a major role outside of the Church, and in the performance of oratorios and in pleasure gardens. Free from Church control, the organ gradually came to express new symbolic meanings in the collective psyche. It became synonymous with national virtues and patriotic sentiments. At the same time, this changed the role of the organ within the Church. The organ appears, therefore, as a factor in the changing relationship between Church and State and implies that changes of style are part of larger social, political and ideological transformations.
