Almost 9 months ago I started a series of choral preludes by Johann Philipp Kirnberger, contained in Manuscript Am. 386, owned by the Staatsbibliothek Berlin. I published all works contained in that manuscript, except...
This is the third score Benjamin Intartaglia contributes to this site. Rinck’s E major Trio from his opus 20 is again a lovely Trio. A bit more difficult than the C major and f...
Kauffmann wrote two preludes on “Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott”. They are both strong compositions, in which the greatness, reliability or ‘solidness’ (is this an English word?) of God is represented. The first...
This melody is one of the most famous and most used of the Lutheran church. It is for example also used for “Wie soll ich dich empfangen”, “Ach Herr mich arme Sünder”, “O haupt...

Kauffman’s is perhaps best remembered nowadays as author of “Die Harmonische Seelenlust”, a complete edition of his organ chorales. He started publishing this work in 1733 in sequential volumes. However, he died of tuberculosis...
[update 05-12-2021: Friedrich Christian Samuel Mohrheim is a possibile candidate for the authorship; see Richard Reichel’s comment below] The choral prelude I post today is a sort of left over from Christmas diner. The...
A few months ago I posted three Trio’s from Christian Heinrich Rinck (1770 – 1846) (here, here and here). The source for these three Trio’s (“The Modern School for the Organ” (Boston, Massachusetts: 1860)...
Not much is known about Heinrich Michael Keller. He lived from 1638 till 1710 and was organist in Frankenhausen. One chorale prelude by his hand survives because Johann Gottfried Walther included it in one...
The second prelude by Kauffmann on “Lobt Gott ihr Christen all’zugleich” is a much shorter work than the one I published almost two months ago. It is a short fugue on the first phrase...
Buxtehude’s prelude on “Lobt Gott ihr Christen all’zugleich” is rather short. Almost as if Buxtehude was in a hurry and had no time to create something more elaborate. Yet Buxtehude has a small surprise...
A beautiful, intense prelude to the old Lutheran Christmas hymn “Christum wir sollen loben schon”. The recording was done on the sample set of the Müller-organ in the Sint Bavokerk in Haarlem by Voxus...
Another pleasant Prelude and Fugue by Johann Peter Kellner. Since it has no pedal part it can be played on harpsichord as well as on organ. The fugue is one of the better fugues...
Simon Lohet (Loxhay) (c. 1550 – 1611) was a Flemish composer, possibly born in Maastricht. All of Lohet’s known works are contained in Johann Woltz’s Nova musices organicae tabulatura (Basel, 1617). The bulk of...
