New Music on old instruments and new organ literature in dialogue with historical Iberian works. The present edition contains a collection of works, composed for an authentically rebuilt historical Spanish organ and covering awide range of styles, which adds new sounds to the purely Baroque repertoire.

The new Spanish organ of the Hochschule für Musik Mainz as an authentically rebuilt historicalinstrumentfrom the workshop of the organ builder Joaquín Lois from Tordesillas in Castile shall both adequately reproduce early music and be a source of inspiration for contemporary music. For this reason, the Hochschulefür Musik Mainz commissioned five composers to write modern compositions according to the motto 'Early music in dialogue with New Music' which are a valuable addition to the repertoire of historical instruments of the 'Siglode Oro'.
Certain specifications had to be taken into account: e. g. a limited pitch range, half stops for treble and bass registers, the short octave as well as a mean-tone temperament. In addition, each composition isbased on a work of the Iberian organ literature; sometimes, the work found its way into the new composition, sometimes, it only served as an inspiration.
The pieces can also be played on a modern organ, although thereis a special charm in playing and hearing them played on an appropriate historical instrument. Encompassing a broad range of styles, the resulting collection adds new sounds to the purely Baroque repertoire.
