Auf meinen lieben Gott

Only a few organ compositions of Hanff survive. Six chorale preludes of Hanff are known today, thanks to copies made by Johann Gottfried Walther. The chorale prelude "Auf meinen lieben Gott" is transcribed from the Frankberger manuscript, owned by the Nederlands Muziekinstituut. It is beautifully written in typical North German fashion. The choral melody is folowed closely, though heavily embellished.

Again a composer of which I wish more works survived to the present day.
