| Added by magataganm, 25 Sep 2022 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. BWV 623 ("Wir danken dir, Herr Jesu Christ") & BWV 624 were composed around the same time as BWV 620a as they agree graphologically in every respect, save the size of the script; and they share stylistic features. BWV 623 is the only triple-meter work in the collection in 3/4 rather than 3/2 time, a further clue that it is among the latest entries. It is a melody chorale in four voices whose bass cadences with the soprano only in the third phrase. Source: Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orgelb%C3%BCchlein). Although originally created for Organ, I created this Interpretation of Choral Prelude (BWV 623) "Wir danken dir, Herr Jesu Christ" (We give thanks to you, Lord Jesus Christ) for Wind Quartet (Flute, Oboe, French Horn & Bassoon).
