Böhm J. S. Bach Christ lag in Todesbanden

Georg Böhm wrote two settings on the Easter hymn Christ lag in Todesbanden. One setting is a Fantasia super (which I recorded 2 years ago) and one is a chorale prelude for 2 manuals and pedal, which I recorded here. After that piece a fine chorale setting by Johann Sebastian Bach. It could have been that Böhm was Bach s teacher in the period that Bach studied at the Michaelisschule in Lüneburg. Proof or not, the connection between the two composers was there. Bach claimed that Bach loved and studied Böhm s compositions. Besides that, in 1727 Böhm even sold editions of Bach s Partitas nos. 2 3. 00:00 Böhm 04:01 Bach Sample set by OrganArt Media: Virtual Pipe Organ Software: Hauptwerk VIII Sheet music on IMSLP:
