J.G. Walther - Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme, 2 variations - Dreifaltigkeits Organ, Hauptwerk

Two fine variations by Johann Gottfried Walther on the hymn 'Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme'. Johann Gottfried Walther (1684-1748) was a German music theorist, organist, composer and lexicographer of the Baroque era. Not only was his life almost exactly contemporaneous to that of Johann Sebastian Bach, he was the famous composer's cousin.

He is most famous for his organ works (free and chorale works). However, just a few organ pieces from Walther are often played, many aren't.
