Mein Jesu, der du mich opus 122 # 1

My Jesus, who has called me

The first of Brahms beautiful set of choral preludes composed near the end of his life - a marvelous composition in my opinion, with a spirit both majestic and deeply melancholic.

Perhaps some members will find this the wrong organ for this piece - at present my organ family is small, just the Arlesheim and the CC St Eucaire - i thought the quite brilliant contrapuntal texture of the piece was served well by the articulate Arlesheim.
