BWV 751

[Hans Fugal]

I'm looking for organ sheet music to In dulci jubilo BWV 751, and can't
find it anywhere. Can anyone tell me in which book(s) it can be found,
and purchased? Or maybe you have a copy you could share/sell?

I know it's considered to probably not be by Bach, but I can't figure
out who else they think it is supposed to be by, or how else to find it
published.

Thanks

Lieber Hans,

BWV 751 /In dulci jubilo/ is published by Edition Peters No 248
Johann Sebastian Bach, Orgelwerke, Band IX, page 50f. I have pasted
a copy into my Orgelbüchlein just after its In dulci jubilo.

If you have difficulty, I can send you a copy by snailmail if
you give me your address. Or, I can email you a MIDI file if
you can handle that.

Editor Hermann Keller writes in the Vorwort:
–Die Bekanntschaft mit diesem köstlichen Pastorale verdanken wir
Seiffert, der es 1904 nach einer Handscrift von J.G. Preller in
den neunten Band aufnahm; populär wurde es durch Straube, der es
als erstes Stück in seine 1904 erschienene Sammlung –Alte Meister
des Orgelspiels• aufnahm. Einige störende Fehler unserer Ausgabe
von 1904 wurden verbessert und das Stück auf drei Systeme gesetzt.
Bachs Autorschaft ist gleichwohl sehr unsicher.•

Mit herzlichstem Gruß

Ben

Thanks for posting about this, it makes a great 8-string guitar
arrangement in D!

And, it doesn't seem to be a Bach piece, very lovely, but not Bachian.

Too bad this NG has gone basically dead...
