"Der Sammet und die Seiden dein,
das ist grob Heu und Windelein,
darauf du König groß und reich
herprangst, als wärs dein Himmelreich."
Martin Luther (1534)
Some days ago (and also one year ago) I have post variations on "Vom Himmel hoch" by Sietze de Vries (NL), which I transcribed:
Recent version with Ahrend-organ Regensburg (pipeloops):

First version with Schnitger-organ Steinkirchen (Organ Art Media):

Sietze's phantastic improvisations inspired me to write down also some baroque style variations on Luther's well known Christmas carol. - I would like to introduce them to you till Christmas.
Today I want to continue with a festive chorale setting with five voices in Bach's style .
My score is attached for free download.
Merry Christmas!
