Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck’s organ music still sounds astonishingly fresh more than 400 years later. In this Beyond the Notes episode, I explore the first variation of Wir glauben all an einen Gott and reveal how Sweelinck creates extraordinary power through unexpected harmonies, dissonances, imitation and rhetorical pauses.

Recorded on the Contius organ in St Michael’s Peace Church, Leuven.
