"Ach mein herzliebes Jesulein,
mach dir ein rein sanft Bettelein,
zu ruhen in meins Herzens Schrein,
dass ich nimmer vergesse dein."
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 soft Pastorale, the melody appears in the treble voice.
My score is attached for free download.
