Herr Jesu Christ, dich zu uns wend', BWV 632   [1:45]
by Johann Sebastian Bach

A cheerful setting with pedal presenting the chorale in diminution. Both are free settings of the melody, but not identical, so it is not a canon. The background is build upon the three opening notes of the Chorale, which is a triad - a technique later known as arpeggio, because of its harp-like quality. Chorale: Zwelwerk Gemshoorn 8' + Octaaf 2' coupled to HW Octaaf 4'; Prelude Gemshoorn 8' + Blokfluit 4' + Octaaf 2' coupled to HW Holpijp 8' + Octaaf 4' and to PD Subbas 16' + Gedekt 8'. No reverberation added. Click to Listen [1:45]
