Fantasie über den Choral "Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott" (mit Motiven aus Händels Halleluja"

Heinrich Wettstein was born January 1, 1868 in Gotha and died April 17, 1934. He worked as a teacher and organist in Magdeburg.

He has written several sizeable organ pieces, among them this fantasie about the famous Reformation hymn "Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott" / "A mighty fortress is our god".

It is a piece which satisfies the expectations of the educated middle class, developing the thematic material from the famous reformation hymn and the equally famous Halleluja chorus of Händeö.

I had hoped, to post this piece for reformation day, but sometimes work assignments take over..
