Orgelbüchlein 11 - Lobt Gott, ihr Christen, allzugleich BWV 609

Johann Sebastian Bach, Lobt Gott, ihr Christen, allzugleich (BWV 609)

Here is another one of my attempts to make Bach's contributions to his fabulous Orgelbüchlein sound reasonably enough for publication - his BVW 609, nearly at the end of the Advent and Christmas cycle in this volume.

The brief choral competes with others for a place in the "shortest-ever" Bach compositions. It reminds me of the tales about his performance brevity, "...where Bach got a reprimand from his boss that he had played the organ too long in a service, so at the next opportunity he deliberately stopped too early, just to tork him off."
