How lovely shines the Morning star, ”The Queen of Chorales”
How lovely shines the Morning star (Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern) composed by Philipp Nicolai 1597. This chorale has inspired many composers, of course Bach too. His cantata is based on it.
This hymn is often referred to as "The Queen of Chorales”. ( Wachet auf, ruft und die Stimme is ”Tthe King of Chorales”). I play the ”Queen” here with my special registrations with the wonderful Organteq, and after, combined with Buxtehude’s short version of it. And I have to say, what a beautiful sound from Organteq in this later piece by Buxtehude
Enjoy the sound of Organteq! I try to reveal the sound secrets with different registrations.
