"So merket nun das Zeichen recht:
die Krippe, Windelein so schlecht,
da findet ihr das Kind gelegt,
das alle Welt erhält und trägt."
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 Concerto movement in italian style, the melody appears in the tenor trumpet in between the ritornello.
The score is attached for free download.
