To the few remaining organ works of Johann Heuschkel belong two preludes to the choral “Vom Himmel hoch da komm ich her”. They are not as elaborate as the prelude I uploaded a few days ago. Yet they are very pleasant works.
The first has a three part texture. Parts of the chorale melody appear in all three voices in both tonic and dominant. Almost like it is a fugue.
The recording was done on the sample set of the Bader-organ in the Walburgiskerk in Zutphen by Sonus Paradisi for Hauptwerk.
