- Gelobet seist du, Jesu Christ, BuxWV 188
[7:29]
Unmitigatingly cheerful Christmas trio, subtly employing many of Buxtehude's characteristic techniques - chromaticism, triplets, antiphon and
response, all of which provide distinction without registration changes. Hoofdwerk Prestant 8' + Roerfluit 8' + Octaaf 4' + Quint 3' + Octaaf 2';
Rugwerk Flute Does 8' + Holpijp 4' + Octaaf 2' + Quint 1-1/3'; Pedaal Bourdon 16' + Prestant 8' + Roerquint 6' + Octaaf 4'.

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

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.
