If you look at the first bars of Ansgar Krauses arrangement (and transposition to E-minor) of the E-flat minor Prelude from Bachs Well-Tempered Clavier I and forget the famous original for a moment, you might think that the piece was originally written for guitar. Equally idiomatic are the arrangements of the other preludes in this collection, which Ansgar Krause has hand-tailored to his instrument. They stem chiefly either from the Well-Tempered Clavier or the Six Little Preludes BWV 933-938.

UPC: 785147900702. English. Text Source: Based on Luke 6:27–36, Psalm 103:8, 13, Colossians 3:12–13, Corporal Works of Mercy, adapt. MH. Scripture: Luke 6:27–36, Psalm 103:8, 13, Colossians 3:12–13.

The text of “Be Merciful,” drawn from Luke, reminds us to be merciful to others as God is merciful to us, the verses provide concrete examples. Alternate choral settings for the verses (two-part and “backup”) offer some variety. The relaxed tone suggests natural use as a prelude or even at the preparation of gifts, post-Communion, or other times of reflection. Originally written for the Jubilee Year of Mercy, this song will be appropriate as long as the need for mercy remains.
