BACH - O MENSCH, BEWEIN DEIN SÜNDE GROSS BWV 622 - JONATHAN SCOTT ORGAN

A special pipe organ moment. We have just returned from Brüggen, Germany, where were very kindly given the key to the local church (St Nikolaus) and discovered a wonderful pipe organ from the 1750s. In the evening, whilst the town square was quiet and evening sunlight streamed through the church windows, we decided to film the organ chorale prelude "O Mensch, bewein dein Sünde gross" BWV 622 from the Orgelbüchlein by Johann Sebastian Bach. We hope you enjoy it, Jonathan & Tom

The Organ of St. Nikolaus Church, Brüggen, Germany

Henricus Titz (1741 & 1757/59) using pipework from an existing organ, some dating back to 1604.
Unspecified repairs and work documented in 1780 by Joan Theodor Gilman, and again in 1895.
In 1932-33 the organ was electrified, with a new console, and the pipes were moved a whole tone higher by the Organ Builder Ernst Seifert.
From 1981 - 1984 the organ was restored by Gebr. Stockmann, Werl/Westfalen. The work from the 1930's was reversed and the mechanical action reinstated.
