Krebs - Jesu, meines Lebens Leben - Metzler Organ, Poblet, Hauptwerk

Johann Ludwig Krebs probably needs no introduction. Famous composer, organist and pupil of Johann Sebastian Bach: der einzige Krebs im Bache.
Hereby a chorale prelude on the hymn 'Jesu, meines Lebens Leben', perfect for the demonstration of one of the endless possibilities of creating a beautiful cantus firmus registration. It also shows how well the 8 foot stops of this organ (in the accompaniment) blend together. I use the latest beta version of the OrganArt Media sample set of the Metzler organ of Poblet.

Thanks, Ralph, for your first contribution with the (hopefully) final set.
Beautiful registration using the Principal 8 with added Viola 8, which enhances the Principal sound, making it a bit more "stringy"

Thanks, Helmut!

Thanks, Richard!

How lovely ... his sound certainly reflecting Bach, but also what God gave him as a unique voice! I had never heard of Krebs, and this was a lovely introduction!

[@RalphLooij]

Thanks!

Beautiful music Ralph. Not easy to play with the abundance of pedal notes! Bit of course, no problem at all for you!

[@RalphLooij]

Thanks, Rien. It's a nice exercise, I'm sure you can do it too.

[@nils-olekrafft1769]

Many thanks for the lovely recording, Ralph.
Don't you also have the impression that BWV 659 could have been a clear model here?

[@RalphLooij]

Yes, I'm sure Krebs used BWV 659, it's too obvious. Playing this piece in the tempo of BWV 659 would however not work (in my opinion)

[@philippelegargean5120]

Magnificent chorale, magnificent instrument! Curious: I recorded No. 5 today!

[@RalphLooij]

Thanks!
