    Stiehr-Mockers, Eglise Protestante (1843/1986) (Extended Set)
    Samples by Joseph Basquin edited for Hauptwerk by Jonathan Orwig
    Bach, Johann Sebastian: Concerto in D minor (after Vivaldi), BWV 596Download
    A very energetic transcription of a Vivaldi concerto, with a restful middle movement. Arrangement of Antonio Vivaldi's Concerto Op. 3, No. 11, RV565 or else Op. 12 by W.F. Bach. The variations in the arpeggios in the third movement were added to my performances years ago. Fortunately, I wrote them in my personal score along with rather precise registration ideas. The movements are Allegro - Fugue - Largo e spiccato - Allegro. Uses extended version. Impulse reverberation added. [10:45] HW1
    Karg-Elert, Sigfrid: O Welt, ich muß dich lassen, Op. 65, No. 21Download View Lyrics
    Subtitled "Canzone," a melody that is based on a chorale soars out on G.O. (Bourdon 16' + Montre 8' + Bourdon 8' + Salicional 8' + Flûte 4'), with cradle-rocking 12/8 rhythm in the Positiv (Bourdon 8' + Prestant 4') and Pedal (Soubasse 16' + Flûte 8'). Impulse reverberation added. [1:28] HW1
    Buxtehude, Dietrich: Ein feste Burg ist Unser Gott, BuxWV 184Download View Lyrics
    Energy exudes from this heavily ornamented chorale setting. Here the Cornet separée of the Positiv is used in 9 different combinations, one for each phrase of the Chorale. The technique is to leave out up to 3 pitches of the full 5-pitch Cornet sound to create interesting timbres, ending with the full Cornet. Impulse reverberation added. [2:54] Midi file available. HW1
    Bach, Johann Sebastian: Kyrie-Christe-Kyrie, BWV 672-674Download View Lyrics
    These short pieces are for one manual and they've been bundled together as they might be used in an actual Lutheran Mass of Bach's time. Registration: all on G.O. The first Kyrie is played on Montre 8' + Flûte 4'; the Christe is played on Bourdon 8' + Flûte 4'; the second Kyrie is played on Bourdon 8' + Flûte 4' + Doublette 2'. Impulse reverberation added. [3:59] Midi file available. HW1
    Dupré, Marcel: Antiphon III, Opus 18, No. 3Download View Lyrics
    Restful and evocative prelude by an early 20th century French master. Solo is on G.O. Montre 8' + Salicionale 8'; accompaniment played one octave lower on Positiv Expressif Prestant 4'; Pédale uses Soubasse 32' and 16' + Flûte 8. Impulse reverberation added. [3:9] HW1
    Dupré, Marcel: Ave Maris Stella III, Opus 18, No. 8Download View Lyrics
    Choral ornamented in the style of J. S. Bach. Positiv Hautbois 8'; G.O. Montre 8' + Salicional 8'; Pedal Soubasse 16' + Flûte 8'. [1:24] HW1
    Bach, Johann Sebastian: Fantasia in G Major, BWV 572Download
    A youthful piece of Bach in three distinct sections: 1) Light and cheerful arpeggios, using (in my version) echoes every measure; 2) Intense rich harmonic progressions; 3) Heroic cadenzas in the manuals with pedal punctuation. Impulse reverberation added. Uses extended samples. [7:50] HW1
