- Puer natus in Bethlehem, BuxWV 217
[1:24]
A pensive setting with the chorale relatively unadorned. At first the chorale (Hoofdwerk: Prestant 8' + Roerfluit 4') blends in with the accompaniment
(Zwelwerk: Roerfluit 8' + Blokfluit 4'; Pedaal: Subbas 16' + Gedekt 8'), then gently stands out.
Instrument:
