J.S. Bach: O Lamm Gottes, unschuldig BWV 618 - Edskes organ Lutherse Kerk Groningen

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)
O Lamm Gottes, unschuldig BWV 618
Canon alla Quinta
Recorded at Lutherse Kerk Groningen
Koen van Andel, cantus firmus (alto) at the continuo console
-----
Interested in this instrument? On the RUclips channel of Lutherse Kerk Groningen, I will play a online concert on 21st of March 2021, 21 h CET, celebrating Bach's birthday and his musical legacy.
-------
The organ, built by Bernhardt Edskes, has a unique feature: a second console is mechanically connected to the first manual, enabling a conductor to play basso continuo and lead an ensemble at the organ loft at the same time.
In this recording, the alto cantus firmus, normally hidden in the middle voices, is played by a soloist.
-----
In this series, every day we present one variation from Johann Ulrich Steigleder's 40-part cycle "Vater Unser in Himmelreich", forming a calendar for the 40-day Lent period. Traditionally, Sundays are not included in these 40 days: a chance to present related music in this "vlog". Bach's birthday today is a perfect occasion to present this lyrical passion chorale.
-----
In 1627, Johann Ulrich Steigleder published his "Tabulaturbuch Das Vater Unser", containing no less than 40 variations on the Lutheran chorale "Vater Unser im Himmelreich", Luther's hymn based on The Lord's Prayer: a rather forgotten milestone in keyboard literature.
The forty days before Easter have always been special to the Christian church. For many, this so called Lent period is a time of religious observance, fasting, or daily prayer and meditation. By presenting Steigleder's 40 variations as a Lent calendar vlog series, music lovers are invited to join a meditational journey through the rich world of 17th century music, unique historical organs and timeless beauty, leading to a hopeful Easter 2021.
Audio recording: Koen van Andel, many thanks!
Many thanks to the team of Lutherse Kerk Groningen for their hospitality!
Instrument:
The organ was completed by Bernhardt Edskes Orgelbau. It's a reconstruction of the organ that Arp Schnitger himself donated to this church in 1699; this instrument disappeared in the 19th century.
