Using the Sonus Paradisi sample set of the 1683 Arp Schnitger Organ at St. Jacobi, Lüdingworth, Germany, I recorded the musical setting of the Lord's Prayer "Vater unser im Himmelreich" from the Gdansk Tablature. It is the 20th piece in the collection.
Using just the Rohrfloit 8' and Hohlfloit 4’ of the Hauptwerk allows me to present this piece with two organ stops still dating back to 1599, which is the same era in which the music was composed.
The Gdansk Tablature is a collection of 42 pieces for keyboard contained among financial, trade, administrative and civic records in the Hanseatic city of Danzig/Gdansk, written down in a time period between 1571 and 1619.
While the composer of the music is unknown, musicologists suggest the most likely composer of these pieces would be Cajus Schmiedtlein (c1555 - 1611), who was the appointed organist at the Marienkirche in Danzig from 1585 until 1611.
