Christ unser Herr zum Jordan kam BuxWV180

A delightful little chorale prelude suitable for the Feast of the Baptism of Christ, which is celebrated on the 1st Sunday after Ephiphany.

This takes the form of one of Buxtehude's simpler chorale preludes, with the chorale melody given prominent solo and slightly ornamented. Here the solo melody is registered on the Oberwerk with 8' 4' 2 2/3' and 1 3/5' flutes accompanied on the Hauptwerk with just an 8' Gemshorn and 16' and 8' flutes in the pedal.

Apologies for the slight slip in the pedal part way through!
