Georg Friedrich Kauffmann, Ach Gott vom Himmel sieh darein

The third prelude of Kauffmann’s “Harmonische Seelenlust” that employs the oboe for the choral melody is as beautiful as the two I posted earlier. This time it is a slow movement, full of ‘Seufzer’ in the organ part. The registration prescription Kauffmann gives for these pieces with oboe is interesting as well: the three pieces I posted until now have a somewhat stronger registration for the left hand than for the right hand. Very good for learning to play trio-like textures.

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