David Dahl and Tom Clark will lead a presentation on Georg Friedrich Kauffmann’s Harmonische Seelenlust. This document provides important information about how Baroque organists registered chorale preludes.
Individual chorales and registrations will be discussed before being performed live by AGO members on the Fritts organ at PLU, one of only a few instruments in the region that can play some of Kauffmann’s unique registrations.
If you would like to play one of the chorale preludes on the mighty Fritts, please look out for an email with the sign-up sheet. The chorale preludes are of modest length and difficulty, so everyone is encouraged to participate. Approximately 10 chorale preludes will be presented.
A 30-minute period of open console time will be available for all AGO members after the presentation. If you have some Baroque music you’d like to try out, bring it along!
