Friedrich Christian Samuel Mohrheim (1719 – 1780) was a German musician. He attended the Thomasschule in Leipzig from 1733 to 1736, and, like other J.S. Bach’s pupils, acted as copyist for him during this period. His handwriting is recognizable in copies of for example the Mattheus Passion. In 1764 he became Kapellmeister in the Marienbasilika in Danzig where he remained till his death.
Mohrheim wrote several works for organ, including the 7 Trio’s, included in present Edition. The source for this Edition is manuscript Mus. Ms. 30190, held by the Staatbibliothek Berlin, and made available to the public in digital form.
To bring this edition to your attention, I made a new recording of my personal favorite (even though the end is a bit weird): Trio 5 ("Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott").
In contrast to my usual habit, I did use this time a feature not available on the real organ, the coupler III-II:
HW: Principal 8', Copula 8', Quintadena 8', Clairon 4'
Pos: Rohrflöten 8', Flautravers 8',
Echo: Spitzflöten 4'
Ped: Subbas 16', Octavbas 8'
III-II
