Description: | Georg Böhm (1661–1733) was a German Baroque organist and composer. He is notable for his development of the chorale partita and for his influence on the young J. S. Bach.
Böhm wrote to versus on the Lutheran hymn 'Aus tiefer Not'. I only picked the second versus. If you are familiar with the recordings of Wim van Beek, the former main organist of the Martinikerk, Groningen, you probably know his fantastic recording of this piece on this organ.
