Bach - Meine Seele erhebt den Herren, BWV 648 (Schübler Choral 4) - Sonnenorgel, Goerlitz, Hauptwerk
มุมมอง 1.5K19 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
With the coming of the Reformation, the Gregorian style went out of fashion in Northern Europe, although a few melodies did hold firm in the rising tide of chorales. The most iconic of these was the ancient tonus peregrinus, which was traditionally heard to the words of the Magnificat, in particular. This is also the case in Bach’s own Magnificat, BWV 243, from ca.1733 - just listen to the asto...
Nun komm der Heiden Heiland - Lüneburger Orgeltabulatur - Stellwagen organ, Stralsund, Hauptwerk
มุมมอง 2.8Kวันที่ผ่านมา
The Lüneburger Orgeltabulatur is a collection of pieces from the mid 17th century, mostly by anonymous composers. These pieces are great examples of early North German organ music. Therefore it fits the Stellwagen organ model very well, being an early North German organ itself. Various hymns have been used in the Lüneburger Orgeltabulatur, mostly in verses and preludes. I recorded a praeambulum...

Pachelbel - Vom Himmel hoch, da komm ich her - Klais organ, Braunschweig, Hauptwerk

Johann Pachelbel needs no introduction and this wonderful chorale prelude on the Christmas hymn 'Vom Himmel hoch, da komm ich her' doesn't need an introduction too, probably. A wonderful and light chorale trio. Played with the Hautbois 8' of the Schwellwerck coupled to the pedal as cantus firmus, which works quite well, I think (the pedal Trompette was a bit too loud in comparison with the regi...

Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, the son of Johann Sebastian Bach, wrote many keyboard works and some organ works. His organ sonatas are well known. In my digital sheet music archives I found this setting on the hymn 'Wer nur den lieben Gott lässt walten'. I couldn't find the source of the piece, I probably found it in the free domain years ago. At first glance it was very 'J.S. Bach' like, but diffe...

Beautifully played, Ralph. 😊
Interesting to take the 2’ two octaves lower. It works brilliantly and the tremulant is gorgeous!
So beautiful to listen to. Thanks for this creation!
Very nice dear Ralph!
Very pretty Ralph! Nice that you played it lower. I’ve recorded this one for December 25 or 26. Same sample set. But, of course with the Nasard as solo. One of my most beloved stops. :-)
Heel mooi gespeeld Ralph!
Wonderful skill tackling this trio texture
Thanks!
Bravo for this beautiful interpretation. I remember playing it a few years ago.. not easy to play without mistakes..
Thanks!
I’ve enjoyed your interpretation of these nice little Chorale preludes by Homilius. Another good one is his Wachet Auf.
Thanks! Yes, that's a fine one too. Who knows, maybe in the future.
The composer must have had plenty of coffee before he wrote this. The right hands starts with 16th notes and only stops at the end of the piece! Hahaha. Nice!
Haha, true. Luckily they didn't invent energy drinks in the baroque period, otherwise it would be 32nd notes all over the place.
Thanks
Thanks very much for your support!
Hello Ralph. I've been enjoying your Stralsund performances very much. You have been showing off the wonderful sounds and colours of this fascinating instrument and its fabulous acoustic to perfection. Your registration in this piece was particularly interesting - and not one I would have ever considered. Thank you for your inventiveness and your musicianship. Greetings from Scotland.
Thanks, Lionel! I'm glad you enjoyed them. I enjoy recording on this model very much, it's such a unique organ. Everything organists learned about registrations can be thrown in the bin, well a part of it... Never hesitate to at least try combining a 16' stop in a cantus firmus, it often sounds quite good depending on the organ. Happy holidays!
I recall vividly at my father's church our brilliant organist Dennis Keane would play this exquisite piece as a prelude to the Christmas Eve Eucharist service.. The zimbelstern and carillon were magical and the piece set the perfect mood for the service.
Thanks for listening, Melissa!
Stellwagen sounds absolute fabulous for this fine Buxtehude !
Thanks, Markus!
Perfect gespeeld Ralph, en heel mooi geregistreerd. Geweldig gekozen bij dit sampleset, ik blijf er naar luisteren. Complimenten!!
Dank! Het klinkt prachtig op deze set, nogmaals complimenten.
Bro, u deserve big fat like , so badly , as usually - love this setting by Bux - surgery precise pefrection
I would love to know how you have your audio set up to make these recordings. I tried recording direct-from-Hauptwerk a few times and it was a disaster.
Feel free to contact me via ralphrecordings@gmail.com
@RalphLooij I will do that! I am taking delivery on a new HW console next week, so may defer until after that
Merci 🇱🇺
Merci!
A very beautiful chorale which benefits from an interesting registration in the right hand.
Thanks
Bravo! Ralph 👏👏👏
Thanks
I love North German ornamented chorale preludes and could listen to them all day. Well-done, Ralph!
Thanks!
Very well done Ralph. Mark
Thanks, Mark!
Wonderful dear Rien, North German baroque music is something special. I love the works of Buxtehude very much.
In welcher NAK spielst Du?
Thanks!
Valeu!
Thanks!
A beautiful performance Ralph. I’m jealous of your Buxtehude skills.:-)
Thanks!
Wunderbar Musik! Der klang der Orgel ist immer suss !,Die Malodie ist etwas traurig und ich weinen immer un meinem Sohn, der nicht mehr hier ist. Vielen Danke ❤
Thanks for listening. I'm glad too see what music can do on an emotional level. I wish you strength!
Wunderbar wie klar artikuliert du spielst. Die transept Rotterdam ist einfach herrlich durchsichtig und brillant ❤
Thanks!
First class Ralph, thank you.😊
Thanks!
nice. I've played this, and his other works as well - he has nice little pieces which are quite well built
Thanks!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece by an unknown to me Dutch composer! Each variation is so different but contributes perfectly to the splendid whole!
THanks for listenign!
Thank you for this beautiful novelty that I am discovering.
Thanks!
Ich mag das Stück ebenfalls, es hat etwas originaeres und das Mittelalter lässt grüßen. Etwas herb und gut für den Advent brauchbar. Sehr schön.
Das Stück ist genial und auch noch perfekt registriert und gespielt
Danke!
Danke!
Was für eine schöne und majestätische Interpretation dieser grossartigen Melodie. Im Grunde ist es eine Predigt für sich. Die letzte Strophe hat schon was Jazz-haftes. Einziger Wermutstropfen: Leider gibt es zum zum Gloria Patri keine prächtige Schlussstrophe.
Danke! Yes, the end could have been more festive, but it is what it is ;)
Beautiful variations Ralph. And what an interesting story. From Arnhem to Kampen wasn’t only a shift on organ, but also in culture. And he had at least a woman pupil, also special in those days. I like his piece. It’s both accessible and interesting enough for 5 minutes. I wouldn’t have mind if it lasted a few minutes longer. Nice find!
Thanks, Rien. A few more variations wouldn't hurt indeed ;)
En plus très bien joué. Olivier
L'un des plus beaux chorals que Bach ait composé. Sublime ❤. Olivier
Un grand merci !
Sehr überzeugende Interpretation bei der der cantus firmus wunderbar schwebend über den begleitenden Stimmen klingt
Herzlichen Dank!
Sehr schön. Dieses Stück habe ich auch immer gerne gespielt.
Danke!
Dear Ralph, such a beautiful piece, the melody is wonderful and the text refers to Mary's reaction when she was promised the birth of her son: “Meine Seele erhebet den Herrn” Very beautiful!
Thanks!
Zeer fraaie uitvoering! Doet me denken aan wijlen dr. Ewald Kooiman, die speelde dit werk in hetzelfde tempo...
Dank! Precies, Kooiman was sowieso van de doordachte tempi, wat Bach vaak ten goede komt.
Everything is just right here. It is wonderfully tasteful and musically presented.
Thanks!
This is one of the most sustained interpretations I have heard so far, but I really like the solemn calm.
Thanks!
Fast or slow, it's such a moving piece.
True
Really beautiful and calm piece. True classic!
The sound of this organ and your playing are fantastic! Bravo! Ralph 🫶🫶🫶😀😀😀
Thanks!
Great to hear you playing Bach on Görlitz!
Thanks!
Bravo!
Thanks!
