Dale Carr | O Lamm Gottes unschuldig, from J.S. Bach's "Orgelbüchlein", performed by Dale Carr in Noordwolde @dalecarr6361 | Uploaded March 2021 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
O Lamm Gottes unschuldig, BWV618, from J.S. Bach's "Orgelbüchlein", performed by Dale Carr on the organ in Noordwolde {prov. Groningen} on 5 October, 1997
The work presents the hymn tune in canon at the 5th between the alto and the pedal. The other two voices use the 'sighing' motive, which is composed of slurred diatonic pairs of tones, usually descending. But of course this factual description doesn't begin to do justice to the subtlety of the piece.
What distinguishes Bach from his gifted contemporaries? Many things, of course, but sometimes a single tone can serve to demonstrate the enormous difference between Bach's genius and the abilities of his contemporaries. I think that none of them could have imagined the e-flat in the 5th measure following the repeat sign at m.8 {2'46"}.
