The Organ Historical Society announces the publication of The Gift of Music, detailing the life of Joan Lippincott, organist, teacher, and administrator. At 31, Lippincott was appointed head of the organ department at Westminster Choir College, at the time the largest organ department in the world. She has taught hundreds of students and played more than 600 recitals around the globe.
In addition to a biography by compiler and editor Larry G. Biser, former students, colleagues, and friends have contributed essays. The illustrated book includes recital programs, a comprehensive list of recitals, a complete discography, and stoplists of important organs in Dr. Lippincott’s career.
The 204-page hardcover book, priced at $29.95, is available from ohscatalog@organsociety.org.
