Bach - Das Orgelbüchlein: "Ich ruf zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ" BWV 639

(TEMPERAMENT: Werckmeister III). Though not properly a "trio", "Ich ruf zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ" BWV 639 is the only melody chorale written in three voices in the whole "Orgelbüchlein". According to Peter Williams ("The Organ Music of JS Bach", Cambridge, 2nd Edition, p. 308), the slurs (lh) may point to a sostenuto approach. In his excellent "Bach Interpretation - Articulation Marks in Primary Sources of JS Bach", 1990, John Butt stresses that these slurs for organ probably indicate a varied or articulated legato in the French manner. The same author writes: "Clearly, most slurs in Bach's music indicate that the notes are to be grouped in some way. However, the exact function of the slur can only be conjectured from its context."

Opening "Das Orgelbüchlein", this short melody chorale comprises, with other 22, according to Stinson (ap. "Bach: The Orgelbüchlein", p.101, 1999, Oxford University Press), the middle compilation phase of the collection. This Advent chorale structures its inner voices with the help of the "figura suspirationis", and evoques the feeling of a constant and tranquil descent movement. The work ends up with a "tierce de picardie" (A major), perhaps eventually suggesting, once internalized the mistery and subtlety of the Advent, the tender joy for the birth of Jesus,.

The middle Chorale Prelude BWV 641, one among the three ornamental compositions in "Das Orgelbüchlein", denotes an upward embellishment of french character (as already was the case with Georg Böhm's "Vater unser in Himmelreich"). The accompanimental motive is drawn from chorale melody. As it in some extent happens to "Liebster Jesu..." BWV 731, "Wenn wir in höchsten Nöten sein" is not a promenade along a beautiful lake side; it is a prayer that comes from deep inside the soul. In it, all the voices do precisely the same: they pray, in a kind of "De Profundis Clamo ad Te" through the wonderful inspiration of Bach.

Advent chorale of the middle phase, according to Russell Stinson (Op. cit. p. 105). It has never been harmonized by Bach. There exists an arrangement by M. von Hessen, which can be found as n.º 16, Volume II, of Schoeberlein "Schatz des Liturgischen und Gemeinde gesangs" (Bandenhoecks & Ruprechts Verlag - Göttingen, 1868). Here we are dealing witn a paramount example of what Albert Riemenschneider calls "a selection expressing the atmosphere of dignified praise" that "(...) should be played rather full and with majestic feeling". It is a demonstration of deep faith, combining the motive of joy (middle parts) and the so-called "step motive", conveyed by the pedal part.

(Temperament: Werckmeister III): BWV 614 is one of the three ornamental short chorale preludes inserted in Bach's "Das Orgelbüchlein". "Das alte Jahr vergangen ist" may well be understood as evoquing the transitoryness of human experience. Composed in the key of A minor, it employs "passus duriusculus" (twice up and twice down), as if the composer was eagerly endeavouring to convey the sense of the inevitable, at the same time he suggests a subtle inversion of time flow. It is inquiring and disturbing... Life is transitory, the old year has passed away, but consciousness stays aware o it... The masterpiece ends up in a kind of defying "interrogation mark", which is achieved thanks to the use of sighs, both in the soprano and alto parts, moving up through enphatic parallel motion. Sebastian seems to pose a question that rises, rises, and rises, and... is never answered (from such a perspective the "trillo" is obviously not to receive a termination...) Actually, Bach's musical mind seems to be restrained by no limits whatsoever.

One of the most difficult chorale preludes in "Das Orgelbüchlein", BWV 600 (also named by Bach himself "Gottes Sohn ist kommen", thus associated with Christmas), is, according to Russell Stinson, one of the middle chorales of the collection. It is written as a canon at the octave [between the Tenor (on the pedals) and the Soprano (in the upper fingers os the right hand)], with the Bass part played by the left hand, while Alto is heard, with the Soprano, in the rignt hand. BWV 600 is the only composition in "OB" exhibiting registration indications ((Principal 8' for the Bass, the Alto and the Soprano; Trumpet 8' for the Tenor). Stinson stresses the fact that the Tenor is to be played "consistently (...) on the upper end of the pedalboard", which is, though, "prohibitively difficult for most performers" (In "The Orgelbüchlein, p. 104, 1999, Oxford University Press). The authograph does not indicate BWV 600 should be played in two manuals. Helmut Walcha registered "Gott, durch..." in two manuals. .

TEMPERAMENT: Werckmeister III. Gelobet seist du, Jesu Christ, BWV 604, is a melody short corale with some degree of ornamentation. Written in G major, but with no f#, it has a mixolidian character (apud, Stinson, The Orgelbüchlein, p. 81, 1999, Oxford University Press). The inner voices are treated according to German baroque music practice, as Bach did extensively in the Neumeister Chorales (the hooked progression of the inner parts), rocking of the cradle, according to Hermann Keller, in The Organ Works of Bach, p. 203, 1967 Peters Corporation). The origin of the text is the 14th century (a sacred song, concluding with a Kyrie eleison (a Leise): Gelobet seis Du, Jesu Christ,/ Das Du Mensch geboren bist/ Von einer Jungfrau, das ist wahr;? Des freuet sich der Engel Schar/ Kyrieleis!. (From the Latin sequence Grates nunc omnes reddamus, 14th century. Translated by Martin Luther, 1524.)

Text:: S. Heyden's Passion hymn (1525): "O Man, weep for your great sin, for which Christ left his Father's bosom and came to earth; of a Virgin pure and gentle he was born here for us; to become the mediator (for sins), He gave life to the dead and banished all sickness, until the time came on that He should be sacrificed, bearing the heavy burden of our sins long on the cross." Melody by M. Grelter, 1525, it was later associated with what came to be its lyrics. BWV 622 is a short ornamental / melismatic chorale prelude of the so called "early compilation phase" of the "Orgelbüchlein" (Ap. Stinson, R., 1966/1999). The work is harmonically very dense [chromaticism (measures 18/9; 22—24), diminished and dominant seventh chords], and major ninth chord (measure 21, 3rd. beat). The key (Eb M) conveys intense and pious awe, as if we were overwhelmed by the scene of the crucifiction. All this enthralling mood becomes evident per se, providing you be playing a fine instrument, not tuned in equal temperament. "O, Mensch..." has not surely been conceived to be played as if one was just calmly taking a walk around a golden pond, some kind of promenade... The indication "Adagissimo" stems from Bach's own hand and cannot be despised. On the contrary, it may very well justify the "Adagio Assai" in MS P 283. Nevertheless, "adagio" (from "essere ad agio") indicates the pulse of the music and means "to be at ease". So one is expected to be deeply at ease within the profoundly meditative <b>...</b>

One of the less commented chorale preludes of the "Orgelbüchlein", BWV 626 is, nevertheless, very special. It starts in the pedals, exposing a theme with a minor third in A Minor. It follows with the left hand and then in the right hand, intermingling with the cantus firmus in the Soprano, but as a perfect fourth (no more a minor third), then as an octave (once more in the pedals), a minor seventh, a diminished fifth and a minor sixth. All this means lots of tension, ending up in a glorious resolution in A Major. It is a Resurrection Chorale Prelude.

Advent chorale. Two versions: the second ("Herr Gott, nun sei gepreiset", now played) is overtly laudatory and solemn. As a consequence of such an understanding, we chose a denser registration, providing the chorale prelude with a very clear pedal part; the first ("Herr Christ, der ein'ge Gottessohn" - watch it in this very channel) expresses deep joy as the predominant mood. So, we opt for a not so heavy registration, and preserved the pedal part blending with the other three voices.
