Manuel de Sá Couto, Lagoncinha, Portuguese organ, Historic organ-making, North of PortugalAbstract
The Portuguese historic organ was defined between the 18th and the 19th century through the activity carried out in Lisbon by the organ-makers António Xavier Machado e Cerveira (1756-1828) and Joaquim António Peres Fontanes (1750-1818). In the north of Portugal, this new organ model was widely and simultaneously implemented by the organ-maker Manuel de Sá Couto (1768-1737), formed at the organ school developed around the Galician organ-builder settled in Guimarães Francisco Antonio de Solla Filgueira (1731-1794). Although the “Lagoncinha” – nickname by which Sá Couto was known – accomplished a personal synthesis between the Iberian and Portuguese traditions materialized in the high technical and artistic quality of dozens of his organs still preserved, his relevance in the context of the 19th century Portuguese organ-making has not yet been properly legitimized by the historiography of the organ in Portugal. It is precisely this recognition that the present article aims do claim.
