Chorale Preludes by Old Masters, Vol. 3

• Straube, Karl

The present collection of forty five CHORAL PRELUDES OF OLD MASTERS (CHORALVORSPIELE ALTER MEISTER), presented in three volumes, may well serve as an introduction to those of Johann Sebastian Bach, since it demonstrates that the forms which Bach used actually emerged in the course of the seventeenth century. Although Bach’s great genius outstrips his predecessors in the use of these forms, the organ music of the seventeenth century is well worth examination in its own right. In comparison with the works of the post-Bach period, which have enjoyed long popularity, it shows up to enormous advantage. This collection will have served its purpose if its stimulates the organist to explore the rich material afforded by that earlier period. Works in volume 3: 32. Scheidemann: Gott sei gelobet und gebenedeiet; 33. Scheidt: Christ lag in Todes banden; 34. Scheidt: Da Jesus an dem Kreuze stundt; 35. Scheidt: Vater unser im Himmelreich; 36. Strungk: Meine Seele erhebet den Herrn; 37. Tunder: Jesus Christus under Heiland, der von uns den Gotteszorn wand; 38. Vogler: Jesu Leiden, Pein und Tod; 39. Walther: Aus tiefer Not schrei ich zu dir; 40. Walther: Jesu, meine Freunde; 41. Walther: Lobe den Herren, den mächtigen König; 42. Walther: Warum betrübst du dich, mein Herz; 43. Walther: Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan; 44. Weckmann: Ach wir armen Sünder; 45. Zachow: Komm, heiliger Geist, Herre Gott.
