Gottfried Kirchhoff, Was mein Gott will das gescheh allzeit

This choral prelude by Kirchhoff is a new publication on my website, after a pause in my publishing efforts of almost two months. As much as I like to create scores and publish them, it is also a lot of work and I was a bit tired. This composition by Kirchhoff is one of a few scores I had already created though not yet practiced and recorded. It is a straightforward piece. The introduction is a short fugato on the first line of the choral melody. Then follows the complete chorale melody as a solo voice, accompanies by rapid sixteenth notes in the left hand and a simple bass line for the feet. The second half of the introduction is then repeated to conclude the piece. Not really a masterwork. Tricky to play though, with all those rapid notes for the left hand in a very open Trio like structure. The recording was done with the Hauptwerk software and the sampleset, made by Sonus Paradisi, of the Schittger organ in the St. Martini-kerk, Groningen (http://www.sonusparadisi.cz/en/organs/netherlands/groningen-st-martini.html) .
