Скачать или смотреть Chorale Prelude [Ritornello] on "Der tag, der ist so freudenreich" [SCROLLING SCORE]

A chorale prelude for organ on "Der tag, der ist so freudenreich" ("O hail this brightest day of days") from the Lutheran hymnody. A jubilant work requiring rapid shifts of registration between manuals and pedal so as to evoke the dialogic or concertante style of ritornello, solo-ripieno writing. The harmonic field remains largely diatonic and tonally stable as upper voices and pedal weave an intricate yet transparent web of polyphony undergirded by intermittent left-hand entries of the Lutheran cantus firmus in whole and half notes and punctuated by sequential episodes outlining the ever-elemental circle of fifths.
