Josef Ferdinand Norbert Seger, Transitus per omnes tonos (L 15)
The fifteenth composition from manuscript ecker III.8.63, held at the Städtische Bibliotheken Leipzig is a rather ambitious one. Called “Transitus per omnes tonos” it promises a passage through all tonalities. The compositions does not...
Johann Christoph Oley, Wenn meine Sünd mich kränken
Some of Oley’s chorale preludes are a bit more difficult to play than most others. The prelude to the chorale “Wenn meine Sünd mich kränken” is one of the more difficult ones. It is...

Johann Christoph Oley, Nun sich der Tag geendet hat
Oley’s fondness of canons sometimes leads to beautifull compositions, but every so often the result is stiff or just plain boring. An example of the latter is Oley’s prelude to the chorale “Nun sich...
Paul Siefert (?), Fantansia Sexti Toni ex C
The eigth Fantasia from manuscript Becker II 51, owned by the Leipziger Stadtbibliothek, features again three sections, this time with three different themes. Each section has an easy recognizable close, so it should not...
Johann Christoph Oley, Wo Gott der Herr nicht bei uns hällt
Oley’s prelude to the chorale “Wo Gott der Herr nicht bei uns hält” is a short manualiter piece in f minor. Oley has the melody cleverly hidden in plain sight. With a changed rythm...
František Xaver Brixi, Fuga, c moll (L 14)
All compositions contained in manuscript Becker III.8.63, held by the Städtische Bibliotheken Leipzig, are in the manuscript all ascribed to Seger. Nevertheless, quite a few compositions are in other sources attributed to other composers....
Johann Christoph Oley, Wir Christenleut (2)
This is the second chorale prelude by Oley to the melody of “Wir Christenleut” that I publish. The first can be found here: https://partitura.org/index.php/johann-christoph…wir-christenleut/. Where the first one has a rather subdued characdter, this...

Johann Christoph Oley, Der Tag ist hin, mein Jesu bei mir bleiben
Oley’s prelude to the chorale “Der Tag ist hin, mein Jesu bei mir bleiben” is to my ears ons of the most beautiful preludes Oley wrote. The pedal plays short bass notes and the...
Paul Siefert (?), Fantasia Quinti Toni ex F bmol (2)
The second Fantasia Quinti Toni ex F moll, from manuscript Becker II 51, owned by the Leipziger Stadtbibliothek, features three fugato-like sections. The first two sections merge into one another, the beginning of the...
Johann Christoph Oley, Ach was soll ich Sünder machen (3)
This prelude to the chorale “Ach was soll ich Sünder machen” is the third one Oley wrote based on this melody. The first two (https://partitura.org/index.php/johann-christoph…ch-sunder-machen/ and https://partitura.org/index.php/johann-christoph…-sunder-machen-2/) feature an elaborated pedal part. This third...
Josef Ferdinand Norbert Seger, Prælude, B Dur (L 13)
Seger’s prelude in B flat major (L 13) is very similar to the prelude of the same tonality that precedes it in the manuscript (L 12). This prelude could probably be played with the...
Johann Christoph Oley, Danket dem Herren
Oley’s prelude to the chorale “Danket dem Herren” is a densely written manualiter piece with the chorale melody in a canon in the fourth. Oley really liked canons, though I tend to think that...
