Johann Sebastian Bach:	Toccata und Fuge in d BWV 538 b
Albert Behrends:	12 kleine Orgelfantasien im alten Stil zu Luther-Chorälen
	Aus tiefer Not schrei ich zu dir
	Es wolle Gott uns gnädig sein
	Erhalt uns, Herr, bei deinem Wort
	Nun bitt en wir den heiligen Geist
	Nun freut euch, lieben Christen g‘mein
	Verleih uns Frieden gnädiglich
	Herr Christ, der einig Gott s Sohn
	Jesus Christus, unser Heiland, der den Tod überwand
	Gelobet seist du, Jesu Christ
	Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland
	Mit Fried und Freud ich fahr dahin
	Komm, Gott Schöpfer, Heiliger Geist

The “12 Small Organ Fantasies in the Ancient Style” presented here based on the chorals of Martin Luther were composed by A. Behrends for Luther’s anniversary in 2017 and were played and recorded at the Furtwängler-organ of St. Peter’s in Buxtehude in May 2012.

Susanne Wegener, apprentice of Albert Behrends and organist in Jork and Borstel in the Altes Land, describes the compositions which combine both a tradition still alive and new ideas, as follows:

“… The old stylistic devices are being rephrased: established and familiar twists are avoided, the old ways are deliberately broken with and sounds are being combined in a way which was, according to the old rules, to be strictly avoided. Character pieces were created which, despite all their freedom, are strictly based on the text and melody of the choral as a source of inspiration."
