Franz Tunder & Nicolaus Hasse: Complete Organ Works

Friedhelm Flamme (organ)


Northern German Organ Discoveries Vol. 6

Vol. 6 of our journey of discovery through the Northern German organ baroque is dedicated to the two new masters Franz Tunder and Nicolaus Hasse. Tunder, the better known of the two, was Buxtehude’s predecessor as city organist in Lübeck. Hardly any documentation of Hasse’s life has come down to us, but he was probably a pupil of J. Praetorius, J. P. Sweelinck, and H. Scheidemann and is known to have been the organist at St. Mary’s Church in Stendal beginning in the late 1620s and later the organist at St. Mary’s Church in Rostock. His four organ works shine with echo effects and virtuoso coloraturas, and his chorale fantasia »Komm, heiliger Geist, Herre Gott« in particular is endowed with a quality and extent verging on Tunder’s great fantasias. For his part, Tunder not only enjoyed what was then the world’s largest brick edifice as his place of musical operations but also played a decisive role in the development of an independent, public music culture.
