'This organ, was originally built by that celebrated Artist, commonly called, Father Smith, and erected in its present form, by Robert Gray; of London, 1775.'

This inscription on the frontboard of the organ at Dingestow Court, with most of its pipes being made around 1680 and its present case and mechanism dating from 1775, immediately suggests two different repertoires of music: the Restoration and the Georgian. Moreover, since the late Elizabethan/Jacobean composers such as Byrd, Gibbons and Tomkins, remain established in the late 17th century, it is appropriate to include pieces by them as well, thus giving three distinct and contrasting repertoires, all of which are appropriate to this organ of the utmost historical significance.
