I was very taken by Ferruccio Busoni’s transcription of J.S. Bach’s Chorale Preludes for organ. I am not familiar with the original version mainly because I don’t enjoy listening to organ music; except when it is in a jazz context, like Jimmy Smith and Joey DeFrancesco.
Using Busoni’s version as a model I re-did all nine of his Bach Chorale Preludes in my fashion and then I realized that I needed three more to make a nice simple dozen. So I looked at Max Reger’s transcriptions of the Bach Chorale Preludes and found three that would fit into my twelve-movement work.
I. Andante … Komm, Gott Schöpfer, heiliger Geist
II. Adagio … Wachet aufm ruft uns die Stimme
III. Andante … Nun komm’ der Heiden Heiland
IV. Presto … Nun freut euch, lieben Christen, g’mein
V. Largo … Ich ruf’ zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ
VI. Moderato … Herr Gott, nun schleuß den Himmel auf
VII. Largo … Durch Adams Fall ist ganz verderbt
VIII. Allegro … In dir ist Freude
IX. Adagio … Jesus Christus, unser Heiland
X. Moderato … O Mensch, bewein’ dein’ Sünde groß
XI. Presto … Ach wie nichtig, ach wie flüchtig
XII. Largo … Christ lag in Todesbanden
Enjoy!!!
