This is my entry for the Secrets of Organ Playing Contest. I play an anonymous prelude to the choral "Was mein Gott will, das gescheh allzeit" (What my God wants should always happen)
.
This music comes the socalled "Neumeister manuscript". In the 1980's this manuscript was quite a hot topic as it was recently rediscovered and turned out to contain 38 hitherto unknown compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach. And perhaps even more importantly, the manuscript contained at least 24 compositions by Johann Michael Bach, cousin and father-in-law of Johann Sebastian Bach of whom before this discoevery only 8 organ works were known. And in addition the manuscript contains another 5 unattributed works, that are quite possibly composed by Johann Michael Bach as well.
It is difficult to know for sure because the styles of Johann Pachelbel and Johann Michael Bach are very alike. Though the piece I play here today is generally ascribed to Johann Pachelbel, I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be composed by Johann Michael Bach anyway.
The text of this choral expresses the unlimited trust in God. Now I am not a very religious man. Nevertheless, events of the last two weeks got me thinking about hidden purpose in relatively random yet drastic experiences. Now, I don't think there is a god who meant the hack of my former account to happen. Yet it is certainly an experience that will shape me in the rest of my life. Whether for good or for bad is my own choice. As such, it seemed appropriate to me to play this composition.
For the solo voice I use just one Principal. The accompaniment is played with a stopped flute and a soft reed.
The recording was done with the Hauptwerk software and the sampleset, made by Sonus Paradisi, of the Klapmeyer organ in the St. Nikolai church in Altenbruch (https://www.sonusparadisi.cz/en/organs/germany/klapmeyer-organ-altenbruch.html).
