	Pipe organ Summary
		The organ and the music written for it reached a pinnacle of importance during the seventeenth century, but one must look to developments during the Middle Ages to understand how the organ came to be a part of the structure—literally—of the major Christian churches, and to appreciate its extraordinary mechanical complexity.
		Organs in the Middle Ages and Renaissance were marvels of technological complexity, employing the highest craft and engineering knowledge to produce arrays of pipes, stops, keys, and bellows that could turn air into the most startling and awe-inspiring music.
		Organs were also known to exist in the Byzantine Empire as well as in Islamic Spain, though there is no evidence that the European organ came by way of Spain.
