- Danket dem Herrn, BuxWV 181
[3:17] (A=465)
Three variations on the chorale, the first on one manual; the second with the chorale sounded in the pedal (Trommete 8'), a quasi bass part in the
left hand, and a cheerful motif running through the right hand; the third again uses the pedal for the chorale (Posaune 16' added to pedal), and a
sort of two-part invention sounded on one manual, with a harmonically arresting cadence.
