Ground Click to Listen, [2:22]
The ground bass is an English form comparable to the Passacaglia. A three-measure repeating bass line on the upper keyboard is contrasted with a second voice that hops between a syncopated motive on the same keyboard and an ornamented melody on the lower keyboard. Originally for harpsichord, but charming on this particular organ. For the extended sample set. Instrument: Virtual organ set from 1698 Starck organ at Monastery Church of Zlata Koruna, Czech Republic - Samples by Jiri Zurek
