"Er bringt euch alle Seligkeit,
die Gott der Vater hat bereit',
dass ihr mit uns im Himmelreich
sollt leben nun und ewiglich."
Martin Luther (1534)
Some days ago (and also one year ago) I have post variations on "Vom Himmel hoch" by Sietze de Vries (NL), which I transcribed:
Recent version with Ahrend-organ Regensburg (pipeloops):

First version with Schnitger-organ Steinkirchen (Organ Art Media):

Sietze's phantastic improvisations inspired me to write down also some baroque style variations on Luther's well known Christmas carol. - I would like to introduce them to you till Christmas.
Today I want to continue with a festive five voice "Intrada", including double pedal. The melody appears in the upper bass line in semibreves.
The score is attached for free download.
