Bach Leipzig Chorale Fughettas for Organ Solo

Everyone is familiar with these little pieces – but not with the connection among them which Pieter Dirksen discovered in 2000. According to his findings, Bach conceived the eight fughettas as a little anthology for Advent, Christmas, and New Year.

1. Lob sei dem allmächtigen Gott BWV 704

2. Gottes Sohn ist kommen BWV 703

3. Herr Christ, der einig Gottes Sohn BWV 698

4. Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland BWV 699

5. Vom Himmel hoch, da komm ich her BWV 701

6. Christum wir sollen loben schon BWV 696

7. Gelobet seist du, Jesu Christ BWV 697

8. Das Jesulein soll doch mein Trost BWV 702
