Johann Adam Hiller (?), 6 Trio’s: nr 1
The Sibelius academy hosts a vast collection of manuscripts, some of which are available online. One of these manuscripts contains organ music by an unnamed composer. It consists of 6 trio’s, 3 choral preludes...
Johann Michael Bach, Von Gott will ich nicht lassen
The last piece of the second fascicle of Mus Ms 30439 was written by Johan Michael Bach. It is a manualiter prelude on “Von Gott will ich nicht lassen” in excellent three part writing....
Johann Pachelbel, Gott Vater der du deine Sohn
The last two pieces of the second fascicle of Mus Ms 30439 were written by Johann Pachelbel and Johan Michael Bach. That makes the total of pieces with a known composer to 7: 4...
Anonymus, Komm heiliger Geist, Herre Gott
The fourteenth piece from Mus Ms 30439 is again of an unknown composer. It is a beautiful choral prelude, perhaps the best one of the 16 pieces. I really don’t understand why these pieces...
Simon Lohet, Canzona
The Canzona by Lohet is really a fugue in much the same style as most of his 20 fugues. Perhaps it is callec canzona, because of it’s sing-like character. The fast acoustic of the...
Simon Lohet, Fuga Vigesima
Almost two months have passed since I posted Lohet’s 19th fugue. So it’s about time to publish the 20th and last fugue. It consists of two sections, each with a fugal treatment of a...
Johann Michael Bach, Kommt her zu mir, spricht Gottes Sohn
Johann Michael Bach is from other sources known to be the composer of the thirteenth choral in Mus Ms 30439. Several holes in the manuscript make that some notes had to be guessed. Where...
Anonymus, Da Jesu an dem Kreuze stund
The choral prelude on “Da Jesu an dem Kreuze stund” is again of an unknwon composer. As with the other anonymus pieces from this manuscript, the quality is very high. The piece deserves to...
Johann Pachelbel, Durch Adams Fall ist ganz verderbt
The 11th piece from the second fascicle of manuscript Mus Ms 30439 is in other sources attributed to Pachelbel. But the version in this manuscript differs in lots of places from the Breitkopf edition,...
Johann Pachelbel, Herr Christ der einig Gottes Sohn
The choral prelude on “Herr Christ, der einig Gottes Sohn” is in other sources attributed to Pachelbel. The version in manuscript Mus Ms 40349 differs in only two or three details from the Breitkopf...
Anonymus, Christ unser Herr, zum Jordan kam
The choral prelude on “Christ unsr Herr zum Jordan kam” is a manualiter piece. Again, as far as I can tell it is not published before. Relatively simple, yet clearly written by a talented...
Anonymus, Mit Fried und Freud, ich fahr dahin
The eighth piece of the second fascicle of manuscript Mus. Ms 30439 is a fantastic prelude on “Mit Fried und Freud, ich fahr dahin”. The procedure is familiar from several other pieces in this...
Anonymus, Du Friedenfurst Herr Jesu Christ (variationen)
The seventh piece of the second fascicle of manuscript Mus. Ms 30439 is a set of variations on “Du Friedenfurst Herr Jesu Christ”. Again there is no indication of the composer, and I can...
