Johann Philipp Kirnberger (1721 – 1783) was a musician, composer and music theorist. In his music theoretical writing Kirnbergher considered bicinia the most difficult task for a composer. It therefore interesting to get to know bicinium by Kirnberger. And in line with my previous publications this bicinium has the choral melody "Vom Himmel hoch da komm ich herr".
The recording was done with the Hauptwerk software and the sampleset, made by Voxus, of the Müller organ in the Sint Bavokerk, Haarlem (http://www.voxusorgans.com/en/product/haarlem).
