Bach - Liebster Jesu, wir sind hier BWV 634 - Leo van Doeselaar | Netherlands Bach Society

In this chorale arrangement for organ, BWV 634 – recorded here for All of Bach with Leo van Doeselaar – Bach brings the melody to the fore. Although the piece sounds simple, it is cleverly constructed. Bach wrote a canon, in which the voices imitate one another. If you listen carefully, you can hear it straight away: the upper voice introduces the melody, and soon after a second voice enters with the melody four tones lower. Not every melody lends itself to this, but as a master of counterpoint Bach must have sensed the suitability of this theme.
