Georg Friedrich Kauffmann, Wo Gott zum Haus nicht gibt sein Gunst

by admin · June 29, 2018

Kauffmann’s chorale prelude to “Wo Gott zum Haus nicht gibt sein Gunst” is a nice example of Trio writing, with the chorale melody in the bass voice. The other two voices introduce each phrase of the chorale melody with short fore imitations. Kauffmann prescribes a Principal for both upper voices, so they are a bit difficult to discern individually while listening to the piece.

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