Effective use of limited means (Johann Balthasar Kehl, Wer nur den lieben Gott)

in #hive-1758362 years ago

Kehl's prelude to "Wer nur den lieben Gott lässt walten" is again a simple, yet effective piece. The introduction and the coda are written in a three part texture. The chorale melody itself it accompanied by just one part for the left hand. To emphsize the simplicity, I use an equally simple registration of only a flute stop and a quintadena for the accompaniment and a principal together with the voce humana as solo.
