Organ music was established in Estonian churches as early as the sixteenth century, when German Protestant hymn tunes entered local church music traditions – to lasting effect. Another influence was folk music, a key factor in Estonia ’s music history that left its mark in various arrangements for organ. Finally, a tradition of organ composition began in the late nineteenth century, as evidenced by many works for organ and instrumental ensemble.
The initial impetus came primarily from the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, who has remained a longstanding stylistic influence on Baltic organ music. Composers represented in this volume include Rudolf Tobias (1873–1918), Artur Kapp (1878–1952), Mikhel Lüdig (1880–1958), Peeter Süda (1883–1920), Alfred Karindi (1901–1969) and Edgar Arro (1911–1978).
