The organ of the Church of Nossa Senhora da Guia in Angra do Heroísmo (Terceira Island): some notes

Abstract

This text presents an overlook of the organ of the Church of Nossa Senhora da Guia, part of the former Franciscan convent of São Francisco in the town of Angra do Heroísmo in Terceira Island (Azores). This instrument recently restored is a good example of the best late-eighteenth-century Portuguese organ-building. It was build by António Xavier Machado e Cerveira in 1788.
