| Added by magataganm, 04 May 2013 Dieterich Buxtehude (c. 1637 to 1639) was a German-Danish organist and composer of the Baroque period. His organ works represent a central part of the standard organ repertoire and are frequently performed at recitals and in church services. He composed in a wide variety of vocal and instrumental idioms, and his style strongly influenced many composers, including Johann Sebastian Bach. Buxtehude, along with Heinrich Schütz, is considered today to be one of the most important German composers of the mid-Baroque. The commemoration of Buxtehude's death in 2007 resulted in widespread interest in his vocal works. Buxtehude left more than 120 such pieces, which is remarkable considering that as organist of St Mary's in Lübeck he was not responsible for the vocal music for the liturgy. Some of his sacred music may have been performed during the services on Sundays and feastdays, but most of it was probably intended for performance during public concerts, in particular the famous Abendmusiken. Both text and music to the chorale melody used as a source for this chorale prelude were composed by Martin Luther. The chorale is an Easter chorale. The first verse reads as follows, "Jesus Christ our savior, who has overcome death, and is resurrected, and has captured sin, Kyrie eleison." Buxtehude's setting is in three voices with no pedal, instead of his typical four-voice texture. The chorale melody appears in the soprano in unembellished half notes. This particular prelude resembles those of Pachelbel far more than it does most of Buxtehude's other preludes. Although it was originally scored for Organ, I adapted this work for Clarinet Trio (Bb Clarinets (2), and Bass Clarinet) to accentuate their warm rich tones. | |||
