The 1345 Graupner Chorales ♬ Kaleidoscope of Faith

This channel is dedicated to promoting the huge and eclectic oeuvre of Christoph Graupner (1683-1760) through the medium of the chorales (and a few other choral movements) which are set within his approximately 1400 cantatas. Focus will be on chorales which have not yet been recorded (at least to the best my knowledge at the time of posting). I am not a conductor and I don't have a choir and orchestra to hand. All I have is a passion for Graupner's experimental and evocative music and a few computer skills. Therefore my versions are synthesized, albeit (I hope) in a fairly decent way. My intention is to give some impressions of these great works and hopefully win new fans for Graupner, at the same time as not upsetting those who already know his music!
Channel branding uses images and text from Graupner's published keyboard works, his Neu vermehrtes Darmstädtisches Choral-Buch and his cantata manuscripts. These are in the public domain at http://tudigit.ulb.tu-darmstadt.de
