In the eighteenth century, a special genre of instrumental ensemble playing
developed in church music: works were written for a wind instrument and obbligato
organ. The geographical center of this genre was the kingdom of Saxony along with
Thuringia. The majority of these works specify oboe as the wind instrument, less
frequently horn or even trumpet, flute, or bassoon. Besides a few compositions in a
free style, these were predominantly chorale preludes in which the wind instrument
played the cantus firmus (the chorale melody), and the organ, usually in trio
textures, performed elaborate, often very virtuoso figurations.
Jacob Adlung wrote concerning this: „Since one now tends to give most
performances on the organ alone, it can also be pleasant when an oboe or other
appropriate instrument is secretly placed behind or next to the organ, which
performs the chorale and is accompanied by the organ, either playing from music
or improvising. Playing from music, such an instrument could also perform the
variation, and the organ takes care of the rest.“ (Anleitung zur musikalischen
Gelahrtheit / Guide to Musical Learnedness, 1758).
This genre developed almost exclusively in the circle of Johann Sebastian Bach’s pupils
and their pupils, whereby no work of this genre has been preserved that can be
attributed with certainty to Bach himself. Among nearly all composers recorded here
strong teacher-pupil relationships existed. The recording was done in the church of
Wetter (Hassia) which possesses an organ by Johann Andreas Heinemann (1766), in
1997/99 restored by Förster & Nicolaus and built back to the original state.
