This is my entry for the Secrets of Organ Playing Contest, Week 46.
The title of this post is more a tongue in cheek reference to the three posts I wrote last week about how to write a choral prelude than a serious description of this post. In three posts I wrote about my learning proces how to compose a chorale prelude when taking an existing composition as a model:
- https://steempeak.com/classical-music/@partitura/how-to-compose-a-choral-prelude-1
- https://steempeak.com/classical-music/@partitura/how-to-compose-a-choral-prelude-2
- https://steempeak.com/classical-music/@partitura/how-to-compose-a-choral-prelude-3
At the end of the process I had composed three (!) choral preludes to "Nun komm der Heiden Heiland". And I thought it a nice idea to actually play them, and record them as an entry to this weeks Secrets of Organ Playing Contest.
As there are three, I arranged them as a sort of mini sonate. The score of all three of them is available on my website. If you like them and use them: let me know
