Bach - Das Orgelbüchlein: "Von Himmel hoch, da komm ich her" BWV 606

Is this the piece they play as the recessional at Kings College Service of Nine Lessons and Carols?

@jbosco08 No.

This is absolute genius!!!!!!!

Wonderful interpretation of the motifs. I can easily picture the angels coming down a heavenly staircase as I hear the step motif in the pedals.

Thank you for your clever comment.

I even thought of playing it just a little bit slower, in order to stress even more the motifs, but... I think it sounds good the way it is. This chorale prelude demands a certain amount of grandeur. But at the same time such a grandeur has to show a certain amount of intrinsic movement.
