Pieces for the Echevarría Organ (Segovia Cathedral).

Over the past twenty-five years, Spain has shown an extraordinary increase in the number of restorations made in the 18th century organs. Due to their particular characteristics, they are suitable for reproducing Iberian music from three centuries (16th, 17th and 18th). However, the great European repertoire of the 17th and 18th centuries has no place on these instruments, much less the Romantic music or the compositions belonging to the 20th century. These technical limitations conditioned in a decisive way the musical and cultural activity around the organ, and even the liturgical activity was affected by them. For all that, the instrument and its repertoire are installed in the “archaeological” category. From Dos Acordes, we want to reverse this situation. This project aims to initiate a cultural movement that places this unique instrument at the heart of contemporary creative activity. This bundle includes the three volumes of a series specially dedicated to the Echevarria Organ. 

El proyecto Órgano ibérico siglo XXI pretende iniciar un movimiento cultural que coloque este singular instrumento en pleno centro de la actividad creadora contemporánea.
