Nun freut euch, lieben Christen g'mein

The fourth chorale prelude of the Neumeister-Choräle-not-by-Johann-Sebastian is again a prelude by Johann Michael Bach. The style of this prelude is employed by Johann Pachelbel as well. The chorale melody is played with the pedals, and is doubled in the tenor part. Alto and soprano voice play an accompaniment in rapid 16th notes. Examples uploaded before are Herr Christ, der einig Gottes Sohn by Pachelbel (http://www.contrebombarde.com/concerthall/music/21351) and two anonymous compositions: Herr, durch deinen heiligen Leichnam (http://www.contrebombarde.com/concerthall/music/21009) and Wo Gott zum Haus nicht gibt sein Gunst (http://www.contrebombarde.com/concerthall/music/21228). Based on the similarities with pieces we do know the composer of, these last two pieces could well be composed by either Pachelbel or Johann Michael Bach.
