Composed by Johann Cruger. Arranged by Forsyth Publishing. Christian,Easter. Score. 2 pages. Forsyth Publishing #6326497. Published by Forsyth Publishing (A0.932717).

This composition uses the JS Bach accompaniment figure to All Men Are But Mortal to slowly accompany this hymn making this a wonderful arrangement for Good Friday by matching the text for which Bach wrote for the hymn to apply that text to his mortality on the cross.  This 1:30 piece truly leads in reflecting about the text of this hymn.

Composed by David M. Cherwien. Lent. Instrument part. 20 pages. MorningStar Music Publishers - Digital Sheet Music #10-381-E. Published by MorningStar Music Publishers - Digital Sheet Music (MQ.10-381-E).

A five-movement partita on Johann Cruger’s well-known tune. The piece begins with a setting of the chorale, followed by a peaceful aria. The third movement is a delightful trio, followed by a very creative duo that is based on the fourth stanza of the hymn. The piece ends in a fiery fugue. Even though the piece has challenges, it is not overly difficult, and the movements will work well separately. Useful for worship services as well as for recitals.

Composed by Johann Cruger. Arranged by Terry M. Forsyth. Christian,Easter,Instructional,Sacred. Score. 2 pages. Forsyth Publishing #6113429. Published by Forsyth Publishing (A0.932692).

This Good Friday composition of 2 minutes uses the accompanying figure for the JS Bach composition A Voice Saith 'All Are Mortal' is used with this hymn with melody in pedal.  The concept is by the men doing their job of performing crucifixions seem to have had no idea who was one of the men they were to crucify that day--Jesus was just another victim of their day's work.  The voix celeste is indicated because if this were orchestrated in the baroque period, the accompanying figure would be strings so it is here.  Great for congregations where music is restricted to hymns people know, also good for students learning use of pedalboard because slow meter yet relatively constant movement.  Hymn tune:  Herzliebster Jesu.

Composed by Johann Cruger. Arranged by Nigel Williams. Baroque,Holiday,Instructional,Sacred,Standards. Score. 4 pages. Nigel Williams #2845255. Published by Nigel Williams (A0.763244).

These two variations for organ are both captivating, the first variation has the chorale melody in the left hand with upward (heavenly) moving right hand accompaniment. The second variation is very much in the early baroque style of Pachelbel, with the chorale melody in the pedals and the two hands playing an elaborate counter-melody, but in a manner that is not difficult to perform. These two variations can be played separately or as a set and would make a fine voluntary to conclude any worship service, especially around Thanksgiving. They also make excellent teaching material for those new to playing the organ.
