"Bach as a young virtuoso" Pieter van Dijk organ.
One of the novelties installed by Frans Caspar Schnitger in the organ of the Grote Kerk was a free pedal with no less than 13 stops. Young Bach, influenced by Böhm and Buxtehude, experimented to his heart’s content with roaring passages and trills in the pedal.

"The year round with Bach"
A programme around Bach's "Orgelbüchlein"
Frank van Wijk & Pieter van Dijk-organ
As director of music at the court of Weimar, Johann Sebastian composed the major part of his organworks. Here he started his choral arrangements, the so-called Orgelbüchlein, comprising the entire ecclesiastical year. The plan was for 167 chorals, of which he completed 45. Beautiful miniatures, expressing a variety of emotions, supported by the wide spectrum of vocal colours of the Van Hagerbeer/Schnitger organ.

"Inspiration from Lübeck" by Arvid Gast, the organist of the Jacobikirche in Lübeck
The famous” Lübeckse Abendmusiken” were probably the main reason why Bach undertook a hiking-tour from Arnstadt to Lübeck in 1707. Dietrich Buxtehude, the organist of the Marienkirche in Lübeck, was an important example for the young Bach. In the programme presented by the organist of the Jacobikirche in Lübeck these influences are clear. Buxtehude’s Passacaglia inspired the young Johann Sebastian to write one of his first masterpieces. The art of prolonged improvisation on a choral-melody also comes from Hamburg and Lübeck.

Christ lag in Todesbanden BWV 695 en 718

"Trip to Weissenfels" by Daniel Zaretsky from St Petersburg
The court-chapel in the Duchy of Weissenfels had an organ with an enormous compass of pedal. Bach was a guest there several times, playing cantatas and organworks. It is presumed that the Toccata in F was composed for this organ. The Russian organist Daniel Zaretsky presents a programme in which musical dialogue plays a major part. In both the Concerto in G-dur as in the by the Italian concerti inspired Dorische Toccata, the choir organ and the Great engage in conversation.

"Ich dachte diese Kunst wäre ausgestorben...!"
by Theo Jellema, organist of the Grote or Jacobijnerkerk in Leeuwarden
Bach’s audition in the Katharinenkirche in Hamburg elicited from the old master Reincken the above, often cited, exclamation. It was the tradition in Hamburg for organists to improvise to “An Wasserflüssen Babylon”. Reinken himself composed a Fantasie about it, of 20 minutes, which Bach had copied out as a 15-year old.The Fugue in g has as its theme a Dutch anthem. Was this Fugue an hommage to the old Dutch master Reincken?

Craftmanship is mastership
by Jörg-Andreas Bötticher, organist of the Predigerkirche in Basel
Although Bach no longer worked as an organist in Leipzig, he was busily engaged in composing and ordening his organworks. Here, a perfect synthesis of the various european baroque-styles and a brilliant counterpoint come together. The variations on the carol ‘Vom Himmel hoch’, printed in 1747/1748 as the auditioning piece for Bach’s membership of Lorenz Mizler’s ‘Sozietät der musikalischen Wissenschaften’, are in that respect a highlight.

Cheesemarket-concert
"Bach arranges Bach" by Gerben Gritter, prizewinner of the Schnitger Organcompetition 2005
A selection of highlights from Bach’s cantatas form the contents of the collection printed in 1748/1749 ‘Sechs Choräle verschiedener Art’. Very demanding on the organist: he has to play the part of the singer, the instrumentalist and the accompanist all in one. However this shouldn’t surprise us in a composer who could play passages on the organ with his feet, which other people cannot even play with their hands. In the youthful, boisterous Praeludium and Fugue in D, the setting of six chorals, Bach’s viruoso treatment of the organ is once more very much in evidence.
Praeludium in D-dur BWV 532
6 Schübler Choräle BWV 645-650
-Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme
-Wo soll ich fliehen hin
-Wer nur den lieben Gott lässt walten
-Meine Seele erhebt den Herren
-Ach bleib bei uns, Herr Jesu Christ
-Kommst du nun, Jesu, vom Himmel herunter

Final Concert
"An Organ concert in 1739"; Bach's Dritter Theil der Clavier-übung (Great Organ Mass)
By Jörg-Andreas Bötticher, Arvid Gast, Daniel Zaretsky, Pieter van Dijk and Frank van Wijk
with Amsterdam Vocaal Ensemble Duodektet directed by Christiaan Winter
The 10 major choral-arrangements framed by the fabulous Praeludium and Fugue in Es from Bach’s ‘Dritter Theil der Clavier-Übung’ are often (mistakenly) called “the Great Organmass”. Whatever the case, the ‘Dritter Theil’ , published in 1739, is the ultimate highlight of all the organworks published by Bach himself. Bach brings every conceivable style and technique , from two to six voices , together to an unprecedented magnitude. Alternated by the choral-arrangements, based on the Kyrie-, Gloria- and Catechism-songs, the matching chorals will be performed vocally.
