Johann Sebastian Bach (?), Herr Jesu Christ, wahr Mensch und Gott (Emans 101)

by admin · March 20, 2019

The list of possible or spurious Bach works extends beyond the BWV-catalogue. Reinmar Emans made a list (around 1997) of chorale preludes that could possibly have been written by Johann Sebastian Bach. The list contains 198 items. Since 1997 some of the works on the list have been positively attributed to other composers, some are supposed to have been written by other composers, and some are still a possible candidate for Bach’s authorship. Emans 101 is one of two preludes to “Herr Jesu Christ, wahr’ Mensch und Gott”, Emans 100, uploaded before is the other. Emans 101 is not as well written as Emans 100. Yet it is still on a level of which I wish I were able to write music.

The recording was done on the sample set of the Müller-organ in the Sint Bavokerk in Haarlem by Voxus Organs for Hauptwerk.
