Chorale Prelude on ‘Brunnquell aller Güter’, Op. 25 — Egbert Juffer

This contemplative Chorale Prelude by Dutch-British composer Egbert Juffer is based on the Lutheran Pentecost Chorale 'Brunnquell aller Güter'. Written on December 24th, 2024, it unfolds at a dignified Largo pace, the Chorale melody shaped in long-breathed phrases with gentle triplet motion lending a quiet ebb and flow. The right hand carries each Chorale phrase; while it rests, the accompaniment (left hand + pedal) continues, and the pedal discreetly foreshadows the next line of the melody before the right hand resumes. An ideal choice for reflective liturgical moments or as a tranquil recital interlude.

Why you’ll love it:

Subtle dialogue of voices – Right hand sings the Chorale; in the “between-phrases” spaces of the right hand, the accompaniment flows on and the pedal anticipates the next Chorale phrase by presenting the melody, creating seamless continuity and poetic suspense.

Calm, devotional character – A spacious Largo setting that lets the Chorale speak with warmth and poise.

Clear, practical registration – Suggested stops: Man. I or III Flutes 8′ 4′ 2 2/3′, Man. II Flutes 8′ 4′, Pedal Subbas 16′ & Principal 16′—simple colours that sing on many instruments.

Neat layout – 3 pages of music notation presented within a 5-page publication, with tempo and registration guidance clearly indicated.

Intermediate accessibility – Suitable for organists around UK Grade 4–5; performance time about 3½–4 minutes, depending on tempo and phrasing.
