Dieterich Buxtehude’s Prelude in D Minor.

An extract from Samuel Scheidt’s organ works, Alamanda Bruynsmedelijn.

Franz Tunder’s marvellous Christ Lag in Todesbanden. What he and other North German organists managed to achieve was the flowing of a minor key which ended seamlessly on a major chord. I hear this also in Buxtehude’s Ach Gott und Herr. These men of the North German organ school deserve far more recognition than they receive today.

My favourite piece by Georg Böhm, which I had for years ascribed to Buxtehude, Vater unser in Himmelreich.
