medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I am writing my PhD thesis on the Franciscan friary in medieval Valladolid, Spain, and the documents show that these friars had an organ in their church at least from the beginnings of the fifteenth century.
Organ music was included in the Liturgy of the Hours, and this instrument was probably located in the choir of the main chapel of the church.
You can find some information on the organ of the Franciscan friary of Valladolid in "Archivo Ibero-Americano" 17 (1957), p. 879.

Perhaps I am mis-remembering, but in Galbert of Bruges' *Murder of Charles the Good,* doesn't someone hide in an organ case kept in a sort of gallery or loft above the nave?

I have a vague impression, based on nothing in particular, that it was unusual for medieval church music to include musical instruments, whereas by the seventeenth century there might be at least an element of orchestration. Is this even half right? and if so, where were the musicians put?
