Friedrich Wilhelm Zachow, Jesus Christus unser Heiland, der von uns (LV 7)

Manuscript Mus ms 40037, owned by the Staatsbibliothek Berlin, contains 5 chorale preludes to “Jesus Christus, under Heiland, der von uns”. At least three of them were composed by Zachow. The one designated as LV 7 in the Lohman catalogue is a fugato based on the first phrase of the choral melody and a counter subject. Each of the four voices plays the choral phrase twice. It’s a nice solfeggio to try and spot them all without looking in the score.

The recording was done with the Hauptwerk software and the demo sampleset, made by Sonus Paradisi, of the Schnittger organ in the St Martinikerk, Groningen
