Herr Jesu Christ, meins Lebens Licht

Georg Friedrich Kauffmann was a German baroque composer and organist. Kauffman’s is perhaps best remembered nowadays as author of “Die Harmonische Seelenlust”, a complete edition of his organ chorales. He started publishing this work in 1733 in sequential volumes. However, he died of tuberculosis before they had been completely published. His widow saw the endeavor though and completed the publication of the Harmonische Seelenlust. This perhaps explains that Die Harmonische Seelenlust contains three works of Walther and one of Zachow. (source: Partitura Organum)
