Summary of This Score
This edition gathers 48 Choralvorspiele (chorale preludes) organized according to the keys of the (former) EKG. Each chorale is offered in two versions -one for 3 voices and one for 2 voices-allowing quick selection of a denser or more streamlined texture depending on the context: congregational accompaniment, alternatim, hymn introduction, or short concert piece. The content covers a broad range of essential chorales, such as "Allein Gott in der Höh sei Ehr", "Christ lag in Todesbanden", "Jesu meine Freude", "O Lamm Gottes unschuldig", "Vater unser im Himmelreich", and "Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern", providing a solid foundation for building a lasting organ repertoire.
Additionally, the appendix offers more developed musical material: a 4-voice setting of "Nun komm der Heiden Heiland" and two trio variations on "Nun freut euch, lieben Christen gemein" (references TWV 31:49,51,52), particularly interesting for working on voice independence, articulation, and balance between sound layers. The volume also includes highly practical and musicological information, notably the Schnitger organ disposition of the Pellworm Island (North Sea), the adaptation of the preludes to this instrument, as well as a critical report : a real asset for organists seeking a documented approach to interpretation.
