I tried to get a sound which is suitable for this old music and using a historical organ model "Classical French Organ ll" (Poitiers 1791). It is good to have historical organs to choose from when playing "old" music. I like this Classical French Organ ll (Poitiers 1791).
And, as always, I like to combine these stops in Organteq 2 to get whatever sound I need. And dear listeners, I love this "Everything in Organteq can be tweaked - from the composition of the organ to the sound of each pipe - making it possible to reproduce a wide variety of existing organs or to explore unknowns musical lands".
It is as true as it is said. In my opinion, a fantastic instrument!
Enjoy an old organ and old music AND listen to Praetorius other piece after the video after the description.
Michael Praetorius (probably 28 September 1571 – 15 February 1621) was a German composer, organist, and music theorist.
He was one of the most versatile composers of his age, being particularly significant in the development of musical forms based on Protestant Hymns.Terpsichore, a compendium of more than 300 instrumental dances is his most widely known and recorded work today. Many of Praetorius' choral compositions were scored for several smaller choirs situated in several locations in the church.
Praetorius composed the familiar harmonization of Es ist ein Ros entsprungen, Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming. Published in 1609 in Musae Sioniae VI.
I play it here: using historical organ Baroque Schnitger l (so we are back in 1600 ! ) Wow!https://forum.modartt.com/uploads.php?f...ooming.mp3
All the best, everyone

«Immediately after the holy Word of God there is nothing that should be praised and exalted as much as music»; this phrase "sculpted" by Michael Praetorius in the preface of the first volume of the Musae Sioniae (1604) represents a programmatic, almost existential manifesto of the composer's entire creative trajectory.
Have you ever tried to play "Nun Lob mein Seel den Herrn" by Praetorius? In my opinion it would be great on the same set you've used for this videos.
Thanks for sharing with us!

Thank you KloppartA for you kind comment and welcome to this sub-forum. I appreciate it. I am now looking for "Nun Lob mein Seel den Herrn", I hope I can find it and that I can play it.
Best wishes,

Really a nice piece Stig! I know only by name this author from one Exam of history of Music at conservatorium, but never heard nothing of him before: Well what can I say, it's truly fantastic music both for the careful harmonies and above all for the choice you made of an ancient organ capable of reproducing the right sound.
Thank you for making me discover this author, who deserves to listen more attentively to other works.

Thank you Carmelo. Very glad you like this kind of music with "the right" organ I am looking for more of Praetorius.
Best wishes,
Stig
