CCX. BACH, J.S.: O Lamm Gottes, unschuldig (Leipzig Chorales), BWV 401

CCX. BACH, J.S. (1685-1750)

O Lamm Gottes, unschuldig (Leipzig Chorales), BWV 401 (1739-42)
Wolfgang Zerer, organ
(6:53)


Though not as well-known as the Prelude & Fugues (see Post CVIII), or Toccatas, the eighteen Leipzig Chorales and among Bach's greatest compositions for organ. Based on chorale melodies, he spins out great stretches of virtuoso writing.

This one is in three sections, each progressively more complex. The third puts the chorale melody in the pedal part.
