Bach - Vater unser im Himmelreich BWV 682 - Smits | Netherlands Bach Society

'Vater unser im Himmelreich', performed by Reitze Smits for All of Bach, requires a large organ with two manuals (keyboards) and pedal. The two melodic voices and bass part actually create the form of a trio sonata. The original song melody is embellished to such an extent that it is practically unrecognisable. But these decorations borrowed from French Baroque music do not provide cheerfulness. Against a ground of persistent bass notes, the two upper voices grip one another in a heaving canonic stranglehold, which suggests that this prayer is no sinecure.
