Organ Recital "in progress" - "O Mensch bewein dein Sunde gross" (Johann Sebastian Bach)

The third part of Andrew's online organ recital is here! (Andrew has a marvellous home organ that has been set to recreate the sound of the great organ in Salisbury Cathedral, and which allows him to record directly to a computer, and he is offering up these musical meditations as part of our efforts to find ways to keep you connected in this very strange and difficult time.)

Today, we present O Mensch, bewein dein Sünde groß by Johann Sebastian Bach, played by Andrew Adair on the Salisbury Cathedral Hauptwerk sample set by Milan Digital Audio.

Johann Sebastian Bach’s (1685-1750) setting of the chorale O Mensch, bewein dein Sünde groß BWV 622 comes from the Passion section of the Orgelbüchlein. The Orgelbüchlein was composed from 1713-1716 during Bach’s time as court organist in Weimar; this chorale is often played at St. Mary Magdalene's at the conclusion of Palm Sunday.
