Although most of the piece is played on the manual (Rohrflöte 8' + Koppelflöte 4' + Flötnasat 2 2/3'), two phrases of the Chorale in slower notes have been moved to the pedal (16' + 8' + 4' plus HW/PD coupler). No reverberation was added. Midi File available. Instrument: Kaul Orgelbau GmbH, St. Johannes / Weinsberg, Germany (1990) - Samples by Gernot Wurst

Some day we're going to get organized, in the meantime we ask for a free will contribuion; it will help me to continue offering music for your enjoyment.

Chorale Text
German:
Herr Christ, der ein'ge Gottes Sohn,
Vaters in Ewigkeit
Aus seinem Herz'n entsprossen,
Gleich wie geschrieben steht,
Er ist der Morgensterne,
Sein'n Glanz streckt er so ferne
Vor andern Sternen klar.
--Elisabeth Creutziger, 1524

English:
O Thou, of God the Father,
The true Eternal Son,
Of whom 'tis surely written,
That Thou with Him art one,
Thou art the bright and morning star,
Beyond all other radiance
Thy glory streams afar.
--Tr. C. Winkworth
