- Ach Gott, vom Himmel sieh darein, 1st Setting
[1:37]
Straightforward fughetta in 4 voices. Full organ, original tuning (Bach-Kellner). An experiment using dry samples with convolution reverberation is
available here. For those interested in my latest techniques you can see
old and new scores. The goal was to add a bit more "air" between detached notes.
Midi File available.
Instrument:
Chamber Organ by Daniel Prib, 2007 -
Samples by Jiri Zurek

- Chorale Text
German:
Ach Gott, vom Himmel sieh darein
Und laß dich's doch erbarmen!
Wie wenig sind der Heilgen dein,
Verlassen sind wir Armen;
Dein Wort man nicht läßt haben wahr,
Der Glaub ist auch verloschen gar
Bei allen Menschenkindern.
English:
Ah God, from heaven look on us
And grant us yet thy mercy!
How few are found thy saints to be,
Forsaken are we wretches;
Thy word is not upheld as true,
And faith is also now quite dead
Among all mankind's children.
