Composer:Johann Sebastian BachGenre:KeyboardStyle:Chorale PreludeCompose Date:before 1718Publication Date:1893Average_duration:1:41Johann Sebastian Bach's 'Lobt Gott, ihr Christen, allzugleich (II), BWV 732' is a chorale prelude for organ. It was composed in the early 18th century, during Bach's tenure as the court organist in Weimar. The piece is believed to have been written between 1708 and 1717, although the exact date of composition is unknown. The premiere of 'Lobt Gott, ihr Christen, allzugleich (II), BWV 732' is also unknown, as the piece was likely performed in church services rather than in a concert setting. However, it has since become a popular piece in the organ repertoire and is frequently performed in recitals and church services. The piece is structured in four movements, each of which is based on a different verse of the hymn 'Lobt Gott, ihr Christen, allzugleich'. The first movement is a lively and joyful setting of the first verse, featuring a fast-paced melody and intricate counterpoint. The second movement is a more contemplative setting of the second verse, with a slower tempo and more subdued harmonies. The third movement is a lively and energetic setting of the third verse, featuring a virtuosic organ solo and complex harmonies. The final movement is a triumphant setting of the fourth verse, with a grand and majestic melody and powerful harmonies. Overall, 'Lobt Gott, ihr Christen, allzugleich (II), BWV 732' is a masterful example of Bach's skill as a composer and organist. The piece showcases his ability to create complex and intricate counterpoint, while also conveying a sense of joy and celebration. It remains a beloved piece in the organ repertoire and a testament to Bach's enduring legacy as one of the greatest composers of all time.More....
