Herr Jesu Christ, du höchstes Gut

The Neumeister Sammlung contains 5 chorale preludes written by Georg Andreas Sorge, Neumeister’s teacher at the organ. This is the fourth of them. Allthough Sorge uses simple means in composing this piece, the result is quite impressive. The chorale melody stands out clearly, and the flowing triplets give it an almost sweet surrounding. The a minor tonality enhances the bittersweet mood of this piece.
