Vater unser im Himmelreich

This piece is actually one of my favorites to play. And it is not even 'real' organ music. It is an adaptation of one of Hassler's motets, written for four part choir.

Playing this music on an organ in a large acoustics, I can almost here the choir singing. Only a few stop are needed for this music. I've played it before on only a Principal 8'. This time I choose to add the Vox Humana 8' to the Principal (both are stop from the Bovenwerk). After all, the original is meant to be sung, so what better stop than a human voice? To add a little silkiness to the sound I also use the Salicet 8' of the Hoofdwerk.
