Johann Sebastian Bach (?), Jesu meine Freude (BWV Anh II 59)
Bach’s authorship of this chorale prelude on “Jese meine Freude” is doubted. And probably rightly so. The use of sequences is a bit bland and not as refined as you might expect from Bach. It’s nevertheless a nice work in which the accompaniment of the choral melody is almost concert like and moves all over the manual. It’s almost necessary to notate it on four staves. I tried to squeeze it into three. Though the manuscript notates the choral melody on the upper stave, I think it’s far more easy to play it with the left hand, so I notate it on the middle stave.
The recording was done on the sample set of the Müller-organ in the Sint Bavokerk in Haarlem by Voxus Organs for Hauptwerk.

I’m thinking its a work of Johann Ludwig Krebs or maybe Homilius or a or other pupil of JS Bach
You could be right of course. There’s no way to attribute it positively to one or the other, however, except the discovery of another manuscript which indicates the composer.
