Johann Christoph Oley, Wenn meine Sünd mich kränken
Some of Oley’s chorale preludes are a bit more difficult to play than most others. The prelude to the chorale “Wenn meine Sünd mich kränken” is one of the more difficult ones. It is written as a Trio for organ. The composition follows the harmonic outline of the chorale melody, though here and there fragments of the melody itself are discernable. In the middle of the composition Oley writes rather extreme hand crossings, where thee right hand goes to the left part of the manual and the left hand goes all the way up to c3. A bit umcomfortable to play, but a nice effect anyway.
The recording was done with the Hauptwerk software and the sample set of the Holzey organ of St. Peter and Paul in Weissenau by Prospectum (https://www.prospectum.com/index.php?language=english&id1=2&id2=9).
