Sei gegrüßet, Jesu gütig: my chorale prelude at St Paul’s Cathedral

Sei gegrüßet, Jesu gütig: my chorale prelude at St Paul's Cathedral

I recently wrote an organ chorale prelude for William Whitehead’s Orgelbüchlein Project which is completing Bach’s Orgelbüchlein, a set of chorale preludes for the church’s year which Bach planned out and started but never finished. You can read more about the project in my recent interview with William. 

My small contribution, the chorale prelude Sei gegrüßet, Jesu gütig is being premiered by organist Alexander Knight at St Paul’s Cathedral on Sunday 30 June 2024, before the 3pm evensong. Alexander will be playing a sequence of organ pieces in the thirty minutes before Evensong and my choral prelude will be included.

Further information about the music at St Paul’s Cathedral from their website.
