- Dies sind die heil'gen zehn Gebot' (Fughetta), BWV 679
[2:22] (Kirnberger II mod. , f(A3)=468 Hz)
Part of the small German Organ Mass, this delightful Fughetta makes the Ten Commandments actually sound appealing. Similar in feeling to the Gigue
Fugue, but much less demanding technically, this is an attractive piece for one manual that could teach a student to deal with repeated notes and
phrasing. Registration: HW: Principal 8' + Octav 4' + Superoctav 2'.
Midi File available.
Instrument:
Johann Adam Ehrlich organ at Evangelische Stadtkirche / Bad Wimpfen, Germany (1748) -

German:
Dies sind die heil'gen zehn Gebot',
Die uns gab unser Herre Gott
Durch Mose, seinen Diener treu,
Hoch auf dem Berg Sinai.
Kyrie eleis!
English:
These are the holy ten commands,
Which came to us from God's own hands
By Moses, who obeyed His will.
Standing upon Sinai's hill.
Have mercy, Lord!
