Anonymus, Herzlich tut mich verlangen

by admin · March 31, 2025

Besides the chorale prelude I published last week, manuscript Mus. O. 12172, owned by the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin, contains another anonymus composition. And given the aversion people have against anonymus compositions, this composition will probably be seldom played as well. And that is a pitty, because it is a very beautiful prelude, based on one of the most beautiful choral melodies I know.

The recording was done with the Sweelinq software and the sampleset of the Vater-Müller organ in the Oude Kerk, Amsterdam (https://sweelinq.com/product/oude-kerk-amsterdam-vater-muller/).
