Demessieux: Te Deum, for Organ

Paul Stubbings plays the Easter Chorale Preludes from Bach’s Great Eighteen, recorded live on the organ of St Lawrence College. 

1. Jesus Christus, unser Heiland (alio modo) BWV 666 [3:21]
2. Allein Gott in der Höh' sei Ehr' BWV 662 [8:02]
3. Allein Gott in der Höh' sei Ehr' BWV 663 [7:11]
4. Trio super: Allein Gott in der Höh' sei Ehr' BWV 664 [5:04]
5. Jesus Christus, unser Heiland (sub communione) BWV 665 [4:44]

Bach seems to have been particularly fond of the ‘Eighteen’ or ‘Leipzig’ Chorale Preludes – nineteen if one includes the Canonic Variations. He set about revising the whole collection, begun some thirty or more years earlier, in what turned out to be the final year of his life. It’s poignant that by the time he reached the last page of the very last prelude (When in the hour of utmost need) Bach himself was approaching the end, and the work was completed on his deathbed by dictation to his son CPE Bach.
