During lockdown I’ve been recording several pieces of Bach to relieve the boredom and solitude! They’re all done in one take, in-between classes, and unedited. Here are a few…

Chorale text…

We Christian people have joy now
because for our consolation Christ has been born as a man,
he has redeemed us.
The person who takes comfort in this
and believes firmly will not be lost.

Registration: Spitzflöthe 4′ and Sufflet 1′, Ped Octavbass 8′

The score quotes John 6:56​ – “He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood dwelleth in me and I in him” Possibly the most calm piece of organ music ever written, perfect for lockdown.

I’m taking a break after 7 hours of teaching on zoom yesterday(!) to record some Sweelinck using the sounds of the stunning organ in the Grote Kerk Nijkerk.
The 400th anniversary of his death falls in 2021.

Enjoy…
