- Danket dem Herrn, BuxWV 181
[2:57]
Three variations on the chorale, the first on one manual (GT Principal 8' + Octave 4' + Mixture IV with SW Nazard 2 2/3' + Principal 2' +
Mixture IV coupled down); the second with the chorale sounded in the pedal (Trompete 8'), a quasi bass part in the left hand on the GT (Rohrgedackt
16' + Bourdon 8' + Spitzflute 4'), and a cheerful motif running through the right hand on the SW (Rohrflute 8' + Gambe 8' + Nazard 2 2/3' +
Principal 2' + SW/SW 4'); the third again uses the PD (Full except for the Rohrgedackt 16' and the two Nachthorns) for the chorale, and a sort of
two-part invention sounded on the GT (Full except 2' Waldflute with SW Nazard 2 2/3' + Principal 2 + Mixture 4 + Trompete 8' + Rohr Schalmei 4'
coupled down. The final cadence is a little startling.
Instrument:
Schantz at First Baptist Church of Riverside, California (1966) sampled by Jonathan Orwig
