If you like this video, please rate it! Christ, unser Herr, zum Jordan kam (Christ our Lord, to the River Jordan Came) BWV 684 is the baptism hymn from J.S. Bach's Mass for Organ, performed in 1970 by Lionel Rogg. This collection of 21 chorale preludes (pieces based around hymn tunes) is also known as the Lutheran Catechism Hymns, and as Claveriubung III (Keyboard Practice Part 3); published in 1739 "for the enjoyment of connoisseurs." The "prelude and postlude" for this sacred collection is the grand and eloquent Prelude and Fugue in E Flat, S. 552, known as the St. Anne or Trinity. In this baptism hymn S. 684, the original hymn tune is played in the pedals, while the left hand performs a continuous rapid flowing movement that represents the river Jordan (or any river), and the right hand plays beautiful arpeggios. This beautiful piece has also been recorded in a jazz version. This is the definitive performance by Lionel Rogg in 1970 at Arlesheim Cathedral in Switzerland. Also shown in the video is the Mormon Jordan River Temple in Utah. And see if you can spot the water organ! See http://www.sfo.com/~eameece/ericorgan... for links to my other organ music favorites.
