Dietrich Buxtehude, In dulci jubilo, BuxWV197

Buxtehude’s prelude on “In dulci jubilo” is a typical example of Buxtehude’s chorale prelude style. The melody is very colourfully embellished and the middle voices are expertly crafted . The bass voice plays parts of the choral melody as well, but always almost unnoticed, as it fits very well in the harmonical structure of the piece. To me that’s one of the most telling indications of the genius of Buxtehude.

The recording was done on the sample set of the Müller-organ in the Sint Bavokerk in Haarlem by Voxus Organs for Hauptwerk.
