O Jesu Christ som mandom tag

The second chorale prelude by (presumebly) Christian Geist in the Uppsala manuscript uses the melody Wolfgang Dachstein wrote for “Aus tiefer Not schrei ich zu Dir”. It is a fine example of the Northern German organ style. If anyone would have told me it was written by Buxtehude, I would probably have believed him.

In the score I made a few alterations that are not in the manuscript. The manuscript seems to me like a transcription itself of an older source. It contains some errors that are already corrected in the manuscript (for example pedal part of bar 17). But perhaps it contains a few other errors as well. It’s tricky to deviate from one’s source, but I choose to do it anyway, in the cases I think to be errors in the manuscript. I indicated my alterations in the score, so anyone can play what is written in the manuscript.

I intended to play this one on Zöblitz. But then I found out that Hoofdwerk had already done that (http://www.contrebombarde.com/concerthall/music/9764). So, it became another Prospectum set instead...
