- Christe, Du Lamm Gottes, BWV 619
[1:33]
Short as it is, this Prelude is a double canon, the one at the octave is played by Flute and Clarinet, the one at an octave and a fifth is played by
Oboe and English Horn, the Cello is used for the bass part, which is derived thematically from the first canon.
I'd prefer getting power from solar or wind, but right now I'm saving up for the dirty old electric bill;
it will help me to continue offering music for your enjoyment.
