Ricercar pro Festis Pentecostalibus

Johann Kaspar Ferdinand Fischer was a German baroque composer. Contemporaries, like Johann Sebastian Bach, ranked him as one of the best composers for keyboard of his day. Most of his music that survived is meant for organ and/or keyboard.

Fischer wrote some ricercars for different Feast Days. Hereby the ricercar for Pentecost. The full name is: Ricercar pro Festis Pentocastalibus super Initium Cantilenae.
