- Gelobet seist du, Jesu Christ, BuxWV 188
[7:28]
Unmitigatingly cheerful Christmas trio, subtly employing many of Buxtehude's characteristic techniques - chromaticism, triplets, antiphon and
response, which provide distinction with no change in registration: HW Principal 8' + Octava 4' + Quinta 2 2/3'; RP Copula Major 8' + Copula
minor 4' + Quintadena 4' + Octava 1'; PD Subbas 16' + Octav Bas 8'. Some octave transpositions were made to adjust for the 25-note pedal compass, graphic here.

Gelobet seist du, Jesu Christ,
Dass du Mensch geboren bist,
Von einer Jungfrau, dass ist wahr,
Des freuet sich der Engel Schaar.

All praise to Jesus’ hallowed name,
Who of virgin pure became,
True man for us! The angels sing,
As the glad news to earth they bring.
Alleluia.
