Knecht placed 2 versions of this chorale in his "Orgelschule, volume 3"

The first version with the melody on the soprano, 2 intermediate voices in counterpoint and an obligatory pedal part is at n°81.

Here I recorded the 2nd version with 2 keyboards and pedal.
The melody of the chorale is solo on the tenor.
