- Sonatina to Cantata No. 106, BWV 106a
[2:6]
Adaptation of Acts 17:28; Subtitled Actus Tragicus (used at funerals). Though the transcription was made from a piano score, the striking
interaction of the two flutes in the orchestra was emulated in a way that a single performer would find impossible to play. The sonic characteristics
of the Pedal Eb were adjusted for a bit at the beginning, as if the organ were gathering steam to proceed, Registration: Man. II (second flute) 8
Copula Major + 4 Copula Minor; Man. 1: Kryt 8 + Fletna 4; Pedal: Subbas 16 + II/P coupler.
Midi File available.
Instrument:
Virtual organ set from 1766 Schmidt organ in Peruc, Czech Republic - Samples by Jiri Zurek
- Chorale Text
German:
Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit.
In ihm leben, weben und sind wir, solange er will.
In ihm sterben wir zur rechten Zeit, wenn er will.
English:
God's own time is the very best of times.
In him living, moving, we exist, as long as he wills.
In him shall we die at the right time, when he wills.
