Description
BWV 616 – recorded here for All of Bach with Matthias Havinga – is an organ arrangement of the chorale Mit Fried und Freud’ ich fahr dahin and part of the Orgelbüchlein. Everything in BWV 616 revolves around a small group of one quaver and two semiquavers. This little motif is heard more or less continuously throughout the piece. It provides a lively and – depending on the tempo chosen – even restless layer below the chorale melody.
