Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott - Alio modo, Choral in Pedal

Georg Friedrich Kauffmann was born in Ostramondra, Thuringia. Little is known of his early life; however, he did have early keyboard training with J.H. Buttstett in Erfurt. His latter years of education were under J.F. Alberti in Merseburg with whom he studied organ and composition.

This prelude on “Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott” is a trio setting, with the cantus firmus in the pedals.
Although there is a beautiful Cornet on the Hauptwerk, I composed a Cornet from several stops on the Positif for the right hand part. I used the pedal Trompette, which clearly is French inspired, it's very powerful, especially in the lower regions.
