Luk Bastiaens, 1772 van Peteghem Organ at the Oude Gasthuiskapel at
Herentals (Antwerp, Belgium).

The rococo character of the organ of the old hospital of Herentals suits a lighter style of music. The choice is large and ranges from the less heavy baroque of G.F. Haendel to the full classicism of W.A. Mozart and of lesser gods like Charles Burney and Chr. Fr. Ruppe. The work of our own country is also chosen with a Fugue of Matthias Van Den Gheyn of Leuven, an author that has written in the middle of the 18th c. significant works for organ and chimes and that was moreover familiar with the tonality of Van Peteghem’s organ. There is an interesting choice for that organ : that of some works of the English writer and composer Charles Burney who, during his organ journeys in the Netherlands, made acquaintance with the Flemish organs, among which a series of organs made by Van Peteghem. The survey of the literature leads us further to the theoretician, teacher and composer G. Martini, who is a little forgotten but important all the same. The elegant and graceful tonality of Van Peteghem's organ perfectly suits the very popular organ music of the end of the 18th c. of a Chr. Fr. Ruppe ; two small works of his too.
This way we get a varied programme that sounds originally according to the own character of each instrument.
