Johann Pachelbel, Gott Vater der du deine Sohn
The last two pieces of the second fascicle of Mus Ms 30439 were written by Johann Pachelbel and Johan Michael Bach. That makes the total of pieces with a known composer to 7: 4...

Anonymus, Komm heiliger Geist, Herre Gott
The fourteenth piece from Mus Ms 30439 is again of an unknown composer. It is a beautiful choral prelude, perhaps the best one of the 16 pieces. I really don’t understand why these pieces...
Simon Lohet, Canzona
The Canzona by Lohet is really a fugue in much the same style as most of his 20 fugues. Perhaps it is callec canzona, because of it’s sing-like character. The fast acoustic of the...
Simon Lohet, Fuga Vigesima
Almost two months have passed since I posted Lohet’s 19th fugue. So it’s about time to publish the 20th and last fugue. It consists of two sections, each with a fugal treatment of a...
Johann Michael Bach, Kommt her zu mir, spricht Gottes Sohn
Johann Michael Bach is from other sources known to be the composer of the thirteenth choral in Mus Ms 30439. Several holes in the manuscript make that some notes had to be guessed. Where...
Anonymus, Da Jesu an dem Kreuze stund
The choral prelude on “Da Jesu an dem Kreuze stund” is again of an unknwon composer. As with the other anonymus pieces from this manuscript, the quality is very high. The piece deserves to...
Johann Pachelbel, Durch Adams Fall ist ganz verderbt
The 11th piece from the second fascicle of manuscript Mus Ms 30439 is in other sources attributed to Pachelbel. But the version in this manuscript differs in lots of places from the Breitkopf edition,...
Johann Pachelbel, Herr Christ der einig Gottes Sohn
The choral prelude on “Herr Christ, der einig Gottes Sohn” is in other sources attributed to Pachelbel. The version in manuscript Mus Ms 40349 differs in only two or three details from the Breitkopf...
Anonymus, Christ unser Herr, zum Jordan kam
The choral prelude on “Christ unsr Herr zum Jordan kam” is a manualiter piece. Again, as far as I can tell it is not published before. Relatively simple, yet clearly written by a talented...
Anonymus, Mit Fried und Freud, ich fahr dahin
The eighth piece of the second fascicle of manuscript Mus. Ms 30439 is a fantastic prelude on “Mit Fried und Freud, ich fahr dahin”. The procedure is familiar from several other pieces in this...
Anonymus, Du Friedenfurst Herr Jesu Christ (variationen)
The seventh piece of the second fascicle of manuscript Mus. Ms 30439 is a set of variations on “Du Friedenfurst Herr Jesu Christ”. Again there is no indication of the composer, and I can...
Anonymus, Wo Gott zum Haus nicht gibt sein Günst
The sixth piece of the second fascicle of manuscript Mus. Ms 30439 is again of unknown origin. But in form it is very similar to “Herr, durch deinen heiligen Leichnam”, from the same manuscript,...
Johann Michael Bach, Nun lasst uns Gott dem Herren
(Update, 6 june 2018: Based on the Neumeister manuscript, this piece is more likely to be composed by Johann Michael Bach than by Johann Pachelbel. The text of the post is updated accordingly. The...
Anonymus, Herr durch deinen heiligen Leichnam
The fourth piece of the second fascicle of manuscript Mus. Ms 30439 has the incipit “2. Verso Herr durch deinen heiligen Leichnam”. It is the second verse of “Gott sei gelobet und gebenedeiet”, but...
Johann Philipp Kirnberger, Was Gott thut dass ist wohl gethan
The chorale prelude on “Was Gott thut dass ist wohl getan” is a manualiter piece. But again the voices are in places quite far apart. For me it’s impossible to play this piece with...
