Chorale Preludes of Georg Philipp Telemann

A collection of nineteen chorale preludes by Georg Philipp Telemann (1681–1767) and edited by Sam Eatherton. Telemann typically set each chorale tune twice, the first in three voices and the second alio modo or aliter (“in another way”) consisting of two voices (bicinium), making these settings valuable to student organists and seasoned organists alike. Each chorale has been carefully selected and edited to be compatible with Lutheran Service Book and other hymnals. These settings provide a fresh alternative that will appeal to church organists looking for new ways to present these German chorale tunes.
