Dieterich Buxtehude (1637 – 1707) was a Danish organist and composer of the Baroque period. He is one of the most important composers of the so called North German organ school. As a composer who worked in various vocal and instrumental idioms, Buxtehude's style greatly influenced other composers, such as Johann Sebastian Bach and others.
Buxtehude wrote two settings on the Pentecost hymn 'Nun bitten wir den Heiligen Geist'. This is the first setting, played on the model of the Schnitger organ, Martinikerk, Groningen.
