Among the pictures below, the tamed organ represents the artist’s concerns; the bonds between adult and children and the inheritance.  We can see a music teacher who communicates his love of the instrument to his pupil.  This work, in addition to enlightening the religious and cultural character of the organ, wants also to show the teaching relation connecting the generations. 

The first organ (the sound was activated by the pressure of air and water) was built in Alexandria, 170 years before our era.  This instrument arrived to Central Europe with the Romans.  It was developed in the Middle Ages during the VIII^th century.  Pépin Le Bref received this instrument as a gift from Charlemagne.  On the X^th century, the organ as widely use by the Catholic Church.

In Quebec, Joseph Casavant, who was a blacksmith (1807-1874) became an organ builder and delivered between 1840 and 1866 seventeen instruments.  We would have known him better if his sons would have become historians. Trying to summarize the history of Casavant in a few paragraphs is impossible.  But, the first period of the War is characterized by a high professional level.  The organ of Notre-Dame de Montreal remains one of the most beautiful works of this period.  However, many churches in the area of Mauricie, Bois-Francs and Quebec Center are having those marvellous instruments. The Saint-Calixte Church of Plessisville (built in 1900) bought a Casavant organ in 1901, for the amount of 3 300 $.
