- Es ist das Heil, BuxWV 186
[1:55]
Typical Buxtehude treatment: lightly ornamented improvisatory Chorale (Positiv Hautbois 8' + Bourdon 8' + Nazard 2 2/3' + Tierce 1 3/5')
with two voices on the G.O. (Bourdon 8' + Flûte 4' + Doublette 2') and pedal (Soubasse 8' + Flûte 8' + Prestant 4') keeping up as best it
can. But what a burst of fresh air it would be if you had never heard something like this before. Impulse reverberation added.

- Chorale Text
German:
Es ist das Heil uns kommen her
Von Gnad' und lauter Güte,
Die Werke helfen nimmermehr,
Sie mögen nicht behüten,
Der Glaub' sieht Jesum Christum an
Der hat g'nug für uns all' getan,
Er ist der Mittler worden.
English:
Now is to us salvation come
By grace and purest favor.
Our works, they help us not at all,
They offer no protection.
But faith shall Jesus Christ behold,
Who hath enough done for us all
He is our intercessor.
