- Meine Seele erhebet den Herrn
[2:4]
Three voices, first on Hauptwerk with the Chorale in the soprano (Gedackt 8' + Salicional 8'), then a 4th voice is added with the Chorale sounded on
the Choral Bass 4'. There is a brief respite on the Rückpositiv (Copol Major 8' + Quintadena 4'), then back on to the Hauptwerk and Pedal to finish
the Chorale. Utmost restful simplicity.
Instrument:
Renaissance Organ (ca. 1587) in gothic church in Smecno, Czech Republic -"Live" Second Edition -
Samples by Jiri Zurek

German:
Meine Seele erhebet den Herrn, und mein Geist freuet sich Gottes meines Heilands.
Er denket der Barmhertzigkeit, und hilft seinem Diener Israel auf.

My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my Spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy.
