Capriccio "Cucu", (Der Kuckuck) Click to Listen, [3:37]
The interval of a descending minor third echos about on sounds that were made about 40 years before Kerll's birth (his dates are 1627-1693). The piano edition from which this was transcribed has only this tempo instruction: "Molto." Most of the piece was played on RP Copol Major 8' + Copol Minor 4', is also the echo of the louder HW Gedackt 8' + Octava 4'. Optional PD added: Subbas 16' + II/P coupler. At the end. just the two 8' flutes are used with the Subbas 16' drawn in the midst of the last held note. The output volume was set higher than usual. Instrument: Renaissance Organ (ca. 1587) in gothic church in Smecno, Czech Republic - Samples by Jiri Zurek
