Advent and Christmas (105): variations on "Vom Himmel hoch" - 15. conclusion aria

"Das hat also gefallen dir,
die Wahrheit anzuzeigen mir,
wie aller Welt Macht, Ehr und Gut
vor dir nichts gilt, nichts hilft noch tut."

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): https://www.contrebombarde.com/concerthall/music/54191

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.

Today, I would like to close my variation series on "Vom Himmel hoch" with a brief sweet and airy arpeggio variation in which the Christmas angels may return into heaven...

I thank you for all the attention and appreciation that has been given to my series.

If you would like to play the music by yourself, you will find for free download, beside a single pdf-sheet containing the variation of today, two additional larger pdf-files with all variations, including the beautiful pieces by Sietze de Vries, which have given me inspiration and motivation to write my own variations.
