Johann Georg Meister (1793 – 1870) was a German organist and composer. He was organist in the Stadtkirche in Hildburghausen. His opus 11 is available as a digital copy in the Saxon State and...
Richter’s trio on “Jesu meine Freude” is one of those pieces that is just “WOW”. Like the trio on “O Gott, du frommer Gott” it reminds me a bit of an aria in a...
Kauffmann’s prelude on “Ich ruf zu dir Herr Jesu Christ” is a bicinium. The choral melody is stated in half notes and accompanied by the rapidly moving figure of eight notes, based on the...
This prelude is one of the six Kauffmann wrote for the combination organ and oboe. It is a lively piece in 6/8 meter. Kauffmann has a knack for writing in ternary rythm. Those pieces...
This is the twin prelude to a piece I uploaded almost two years ago. It uses just the first two phrases of the choral melody. But Kauffmann has them repeated. The recording was done...
Kauffmann’s fughetta on “Wir glauben all’ an einen Gott” is really short. Just 10 bars and that’s it. It’s a charming little piece nonetheless, especially when played on a soft 4 feet stop. The...
Kehl’s prelude on “Jesu meine Freude” has the melody alternating in the left hand and the right hand. It is a relatively simple piece, but is does not fail to leaf a profound impression....

In this choral prelude Kauffmann again prescribes the use of the Quintadena 16′. Together with the Praestant 8′ it forms an interesting combination I would never have thought of myself. Perhaps Kauffmann meant the...
Richter’s opus 20 is a collection of 6 Trio’s, 5 of which are based on a choral melody. A very bad and hardly readable scan of Richter’s opus 20 is available on imslp. They...

After yesterdays sparkling prelude to “Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern”, it’s now the turn for a much more restrained version. Kehl was perhaps inspired by the more lyrical aspects of the text (süsse Wurzel,...
Kauffmann wrote two preludes to the choral “Wie schön leuchtet uns der Morgenstern”. For the organ solo one, Kauffmann prescribes the use of a Bourdon 16′. That seems a bit strange to me, for...

Usually in choral preludes I tend to have stronger stops for the chorale melody and softer stops for the accompaniment. In this prelude, however, Kauffmann prescribes a registration that has it the other way...
