Georg Friedrich Kauffmann, Alle Menschen müssen sterben

by admin · July 9, 2018

Kauffmann’s chorale prelude to “Alle Menschen müssen sterben” is a bicinium, with the choral melody in the right hand part, accompanied by rapid notes in the left hand part. Kauffmann does not give a registration for this piece. In other similar pieces Kauffmann prescribes the use of a Fagott 16′, a stop that seems suitable for this piece as well.

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