Steigleder's "Vater Unser" Vlog: Variation 3 - Gothic organ, Orgelpark Amsterdam

Johann Ulrich Steigleder: Tabulaturbuch "Das Vater Unser" (1627)
Variatio 3: Fantasia, oder Fugen Manier. 4. Vocum. Kurz und leicht, wie die vorhergehend, zu schlagen.
("Fantasia, or Fugue. Short and easy to play, like the previous one")

In 1627, Johann Ulrich Steigleder published his "Tabulaturbuch Das Vater Unser", containing no less than 40 variations on the Lutheran chorale "Vater Unser im Himmelreich", Luther's hymn based on The Lord's Prayer: a rather forgotten milestone in keyboard literature.
The forty days before Easter have always been special to the Christian church. For many, this so called Lent period is a time of religious observance, fasting, or daily prayer and meditation.
By presenting Steigleder's 40 variations as Lent calendar vlog series, music lovers are invited to join a meditational journey through the rich world of 17th century music, unique historical organs and timeless beauty, leading to a hopeful Easter 2021.

Instrument:
Orgelpark Amsterdam, Orgelmakerij Reil, 2012. Copy after Peter Gerritsz, 1479, built for Nicolaïkerk Utrecht. Case presently located in Koorkerk, Middelburg. The reconstructed instrument is named "Van Straten-orgel" after organ expert Rudi van Straten, who initiated the research and building of this rare organ.
This instrument is a highly detailed reconstruction of the oldest organ in the Netherlands, of which the pipework and organ case are preserved separately. The rich, unusual sound of this Gothic organ provides a rare chance to get in touch with a long gone aesthetic.
Many thanks to Orgelpark for their generous hospitality!
