About The Book

Keith Morgan was born in Oswestry and raised in the Welsh borderlands. His lifelong passion for both music and history has shaped a career that bridges education, performance, and scholarship. After earning an Honours degree in History from the University of Wales, Keith dedicated over twenty-five years to education, serving as Director of Music at several schools and later as Headmaster of a boarding school in North Wales.

Choral conducting and church music have always been central to his professional life. At the turn of the millennium, Keith left full-time teaching to focus on performance and musical research. In retirement, he turned his attention to writing, completing five fellowship dissertations before embarking on The Evolution of the Early English Organ, the first part of a two-volume study. The forthcoming second volume will continue the story through to the mid-nineteenth century.

When not researching or writing, Keith enjoys spending time with his children and grandchildren, travelling, attending concerts and theatre productions, and following sports, though now, as he puts it, “from a more sedentary position.”
