- Lobt Gott, ihr Christen alle gleich, Op. 65, No. 7
[1:49]
Very flashy, festive setting of a Christmas Chorale that's hidden in there somewhere. Registration: Hauptwerk Gedact 8' + Viola di Gamba 8' +
Rohrflöte 4'; Hinterwerk Full; Pedal Subbass 16' + Pedal-Coppel. Only the Hinterwerk Geigenprincipal is used to simulate the 3rd manual. It
reverts to the original sound for the 2nd manual, and the ending replaces the original Hauptwerk registration with Bordun 16' + Gedact 8' + Progressio
Harmonica 2-3 fach. Any more stops with these full chords would have caused clipping.
Instrument:
F. A. Mehmel Village Church Organ, St. Andreas Church, Nehringen Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany (1868) -

German:
Lobt Gott, ihr Christen, allzugleich,
In seinem höchsten Thron,
Der heut schleusst auf sein Himmelreich
Und schenkt uns seinen Sohn!

Let all together praise our God
Upon His lofty throne,
He hath His heavens unclosed today,
And given to us His Son.
