The beauty of simplicity.✨Max Reger is mostly known for his large scale organ pieces that contain insane amounts of notes, but these 30 Short Chorale Preludes Op. 135a that I'm working my way through, are all examples on the other side of the scale. But even though these preludes aren't overloaded with notes, they're often packed with colourful harmonies though, but there are also two quite simplistic four-part settings, of which this is one. Only the two last bars are slightly more elaborate.🎵On a good organ with beautiful stops it still sounds exquisite.✨The hymn text is about leaving ourselves in the blessing hands of God. Now as always, don't forget to click the thumbs-up and subscribe!😃
