Johann Pachelbel, Dies sind die heilgen zehn Gebot

The next composition from manuscript Mus ms 40037, and the next piece I'll publish on my website, is a composition by Johann Pachelbel.

Pachelbel's prelude to "Dies sind die heilgen zehn gebot" is also a fugue on the first phrase of the choral melody. It strikes me as such a powerful piece, that I think it is meant as a pedaliter piece, even if the manuscript does not indicate so. My score therefore features three staves and renders the lowest voice of the manuscript as the pedal line. There are already more than enough eidtions of this piece available rendering it as a manualiter piece on two staves that I didn't bother creating one.

The recording was done with the Hauptwerk software and the sampleset, made by Sonus Paradisi, of the Hinsz organ in the Reformed church in the Midwolda (https://www.sonusparadisi.cz/en/organs/netherlands/midwolda-surround-sample-set.html).
