The organ is usually associated with the church and sacred music. However, in Renaissance and early baroque small organs were often used in noble mansions and courts for performance of secular music. Collections of instruments held by courts in England and Italy include a considerable number of small organs, often richly decorated and inlayed with ivory and turtle‐shell.

This anthology offers a fascinating view on the secular repertoire that organists from 5 countries were performing on organs at royal courts.

Renowed Italian organist Francesco Cera plays a beautiful "Organo ottavino" from 1772 of Neapolitan build. He plays works by Antico, Frescobaldi, Gabrieli, Pasquini, de Cabezon, Scheidemann, Scheidt, Attaingnant and Du Mont.
