Durch Adams Fall ist ganz verderbt, BWV 1101

The Neumeister Collection is a compilation of 82 chorale preludes found in a manuscript copy produced by Johann Gottfried Neumeister (1757–1840). When the manuscript was rediscovered at Yale University in the 1980s it appeared to contain 31 previously unknown early chorale settings by Johann Sebastian Bach, which were added to the BWV catalogue as BWV 1090–1120, and published in 1985. The Neumeister Sammlung contains pieces of J.M. Bach, Sorge, J.C. Bach, Walther, Erich and Pachelbel.

BWV 1101 is a chorale prelude on the hymn 'Durch Adams Fall ist ganz verderbt' from Lazarus Spengler (1524). Often I play the cantus firmus in the pedals, but this time I played the piece on one manual, with the three beautiful Principal 8s of the Engler organ coupled.
