- Gustav Adolf Merkel : Op. 137, Organ Sonata No. 6 in E minor
Gustav Adolf Merkel (1827-1885) was a German organist and composer. He spent most of his career in Dresden, concentrating on organ-playing from 1858. A Lutheran himself, he nevertheless held an appointment at the Catholic Cathedral of Dresden from 1864 until his death. During the same period he taught the organ at Dresden's Conservatory. (Wikipedia)
This sonata is based on two contrasting Lutheran hymns. The first movement starts with an introduction and a fugue (01:34) on "Aus tiefer Not schrei ich zu dir" (From deep affliction I cry out to you) and ends with the chorale presented in its entirety (04:31). The third movement is built in the same way: it starts with a serious introduction, then follows a bright fugue (13:32) before the sonata ends with the chorale "Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern" (How lovely shines the morning star) (16:23).

Oh, das kann ich mir auf einer Sauer-Orgel so richtig gut vorstellen.
A wonderful work and indeed performance.
I like.
Wie Schoen Leuchtet der Morgenstern
First Fugue inspirare by Bach (same theme)
It says in the description that it's based on a hymn tune - it seems likelier to me that the two of them just chose to use the same one.
They both use the same hymn tune as their theme.
Is he an ancestor of the current Chancellor?
I don't think so, Merkel is a common surname in Germany
