Abstract	The seventh and eighteenth centuries witnessed the growth of a unique relationship between the French organ and the music written for it. Until recently, however, the roots of this precise musical tradition lay hidden in the sixteenth century. Illuminating these mysteries for the modern audience, the author has traced the development of the French organ from the sixteenth century through the Classical period (1665-1770). For the first time in English, an explanation is given of the role of mixtures in the plenum of the French instrument of the Classical period. Because the plenum determines the very character of the organ, and because the mixtures exert the strongest influence upon its sonority, the reader will be able to understand why French composers were writing music for the plenum sharply different from that of their contemporaries in northern Europe. Especially useful is the first complete compilation of known sources of information about French classical organ registration. Having assimilated the historical facts about the instrument, the reader will be ready to interpret the music of this period on a modern organ.
