- Lobt Gott, Ihr Christen, Allzugleich, BWV 609
[0:45]
The shortest piece of any I've sequenced, this Prelude expresses joyous praise with the chorale in the top part, accompanied by animated scale groups
in alternating contrary and parallel motion.

Lobt Gott, ihr Christen, allzugleich,
In seinem höchsten Thron,
Der heut schleusst auf sein Himmelreich
Und schenkt uns seinen Sohn!

And given to us His Son.
