Friedrich Wilhelm Zachow, Nun komm der Heiden Heiland (LV 10)
There are two preludes on “Nun komm der heiden Heiland” by Zachow in Mus.ms.22541 II. This is the second of the two. Just like the preludes by Vetter and Buttstett, it is a fugue...
Friedrich Wilhelm Zachow, Nun komm der Heiden Heiland (LV 21)
There are two preludes on “Nun komm der heiden Heiland” by Zachow in Mus.ms.22541 II. This is the longest of the two. Each melodic phrase of the chorale gets a fuga-like treatment with each...
Johann Sebastian Bach, Nun komm der Heiden Heiland, BWV 660b
The chorale prelude on “Nun komm der heiden Heiland”, BWV 660, is a well known part of the 18 Leipziger Choräle. BWV 660b is a variant of this well known prelude, found in at...
Dietrich Buxtehude, Nun komm der Heiden Heiland, BuxWV 211
Buxtehude’s chorale prelude presents the chorale in the top voice, where it is gracefully and not too elaborately ornamented. Short interludes seperate the melodic phrases from each other. The interlude in bars 14 and...
Andreas Nicolaus Vetter, Nun komm der Heiden Heiland
Buttstett was the successor of Vetter in the Predigerkirche in Erfurt. It’s possible that Buttstett knew this chorale prelude by Vetter when he wrote his own prelude on the same melody. Both pieces are...
Johann Christoph Oley, O Welt sie hier dein leben
The last piece from manuscript Mus.ms. 30190 is a prelude on “O Welt, sie hier dein Leben”. It’s a four voice piece, with the cantus firmus in the alto voice. It’s bit difficult to...
Johann Sebastian Bach, Siciliano from Violin Sonata BWV 1017
A while ago I posted a transcription by Arno Rog of the Siciliano from the flute sonata, BWV 1031. Today I made a transcription myself, of the Siciliano from the Violin Sonata, BWV 1017....
Johann Heinrich Buttstett, Nun komm der Heiden Heiland
A simple yet beautiful manualiter prelude of this Lutheran chorale. It is set up as a fugue on the first line of the melody of the chorale. The theme appears 12 times, four of...
Johann Christoph Oley, Werde munter mein Gemüte (2)
This short prelude by Oley on “Werde munter mein Gemüte” shows his fondness of strict canon. The recording was done with the sampleset, made by Sonus Paradis, of the Transept organ in the Laurenskerk,...
Andreas Kneller, Nun komm der Heiden Heiland
Andreas Kneller ((1649 – 1724) was born in Lübeck and became Melchior Schildt’s successor at Hannover in 1667. In 1685, sponsored by his father in law, Reincken, he became organist at St. Petri in...
Johann Christoph Oley, Nun lob mein Seel den Herrn
A manualiter piece, a little longer than most of the other chorale preludes by Oley. The recording was done with the sampleset, made by Sonus Paradis, of the Transept organ in the Laurenskerk, Rotterdam....
Auke Jongbloed, Jesu der du meine Seele, Op. 1
The work on Mohrheim’s Trio 7 reminded me of a chorale prelude I composed myself many years ago. I wrote it somewhere in the time I studied harmony and contrapunt. I have no idea...
Georg Philipp Telemann, Nun komm der Heiden Heiland, TWV 31:49
The next piece in the series of advent choral preludes from manuscript Mus. ms. 22541 II is by Telemann. The piece is a bit strange. While playing it I can’t stop feeling that the...
Friedrich Christian Samuel Mohrheim, Trio 7 in g moll (“Jesu der du meine Seele”)
This last Trio by Mohrheim is, just like the preceding two, more a chorale prelude than a real Trio. This one is based on the melody of the chorale “Jesu, der du meine Seele”....
