| Added by magataganm, 08 Jul 2012 The "Passacaglia in D minor" (BuxWV 161) is an organ work by Dieterich Buxtehude. It is generally acknowledged as one of his most important works, and was possibly an influence on Bach's Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor (BWV 582), as well as Brahms' music. Philip Spitta discussed Buxtehude's work in his 1873 Bach biography, and remarked that "for beauty and importance [Buxtehude's ostinato works] take the precedence of all the works of the kind of the time, and are in the first rank of Buxtehude's compositions. [Indeed], there is no piece of music of that time known to me which surpasses it, or even approaches it, in affecting, soul-piercing intensity of expression." Spitta's opinion was shared by Johannes Brahms. I similarily felt that the underlying melodies and intricate harmonies trancended his unique composition as a baroque period work for organ. As such, I created this arrangement for Concert (Pedal) Harp to emphasize it's elegant melodies | |||
