I recorded this beautiful neobaroque partita on Psalm 61 of the Genevan Psalter. This piece was published in the 1980 edition of the music bundle of the Vereniging Organisten Gereformeerde Gemeenten. Thanks to the VOGG for the permission to share both the recording and the sheet music in this video!
