- Wenn dich Unglück tut greifen an, BWV 1104
[1:15]
The chorale is rather obscure, as is its text. Comfort and reassurance seems to be the quiet goal of this little prelude, played on Man 2 Gedackt 8' +
Rohrflöte 4' with chorale sounded on
Man 1 Octava 4' + Quinta 1 1/2' coupled to Pedal.

German:
Wenn dich Unglück thut greifen an
Und Unfall will seine Willen han,
So ruff zu Gott im Glauben fest,
In keiner Noth er dich verlässt.
English:
If you stumble on misfortune
and mishap has its way with you,
call on God with a firm belief,
that he will not ignore any of your needs.
