Sietze de Vries is a Dutch organist and known for his ingenious improvisations. Joachim Scheufele-Leidig transcribed some of his improvisations and made those nice editions available. This piece on the Christmas hymn 'Vom Himmel hoch, da komm ich her' was one of the variations Sietze improvised on the organ of the Sankt-Martini-Kirche, Bremen. It's a lively piece with the cantus firmus in the pedals.
