Beschreibung
In the first of a series of editions featuring Bach family members, Heinrich Bachs Fünf Choralbearbeitungen are collated from a variety of sources including two by a distant cousin of J. S. Bach, J. G. Walther. Heinrich Bach held the position of court and town musician at Arnstadt from 1641, where his duties included playing the organ at the Liebfrauenkirche and Barfüßerkirche. Bach lived and worked in Arnstadt for 50 years until his death on 10 July 1692, after which he was succeeded by his son-in-law, Christoph Herthum. Bachs funeral sermon, which was delivered at his grave by Johann Gottfried Olearius, described him as an organist who touched the heart and a musicus practicus famous for his art.
