| Ajoutée par magataganm, 09 Aoû 2016 The Orgelbüchlein ("Little Organ Book") BWV 599-644 is a collection of 46 chorale preludes for organ written by Johann Sebastian Bach. All but three of them were composed during the period 1708–1717, while Bach was court organist at the ducal court in Weimar. The remaining three, along with a short two-bar fragment, were added in 1726 or later, after Bach's appointment as cantor at the Thomasschule in Leipzig. The collection was originally planned as a set of 164 chorale preludes spanning the whole liturgical year. The chorale preludes form the first of Bach's masterpieces for organ with a mature compositional style in marked contrast to his previous compositions for the instrument. Although each of them takes a known Lutheran chorale and adds a motivic accompaniment, Bach explored a wide diversity of forms in the Orgelbüchlein. Many of the chorale preludes are short and in four parts, requiring only a single keyboard and pedal, with an unadorned cantus firmus. Others involve two keyboards and pedal: these include several canons, four ornamental four-part preludes, with elaborately decorated chorale lines, and a single chorale prelude in trio sonata form. The Orgelbüchlein has a four-fold purpose: it is a collection of organ music for church services, a treatise on composition, a religious statement, and an organ-playing manual. In these chorale preludes, the traditional Lutheran hymns are subjected to various types of polyphonic treatment, with different types of countersubjects and imitative devices. The two pieces chosen by Mr. Escaich show two different compositional approaches: in the New Year chorale In dir ist Friede ("In You is Peace"), the melody is heard in close four-part imitation, elaborating on the very first two measures of the tune in particular. The Easter hymn Christ ist erstanden ("Christ Has Risen"), by contrast, is given in three variations; what is remarkable is that not only the countersubjects change from one variation to the next but the melody itself undergoes slight modifications. However, the chorale melody doesn't wander from voice to voice but stays in the treble all the way through. The first phrase of this hymn (Herr Jesu Christ, dich zu uns wend) is distinguished by its strong triadic nature (on the notes F-A-C-A). The F major triad permeates this brief chorale, with the voices proceeding canonically throughout. In the third phrase, the bass follows the soprano not in augmentation as in BWV 607, but in diminution (in eighth notes to the soprano's quarters). Canonic writing in Bach's sacred music is often interpreted as symbolizing adherence to religious teachings, and indeed the text of the hymn exhorts Christ to "lead us on the path to truth." All four voices follow the leader rigorously, but within the canonic framework, Bach constructs a truly charming piece. Listen for the Oboe and English Horn conversing quietly in light patches, while a soft Oboe and Bassoon proclaim the melody. Source: Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orgelb%C3%BCchlein). Although originally created for Organ, I created this Interpretation of Choral Prelude (BWV 632) "Herr Jesu Christ, dich zu uns wend" (Lord Jesus Christ, turn to us) for Double-Reed Quartet (2 Oboes, English Horn & Bassoon).
