This solemn Chorale Prelude by Egbert Juffer is based on the Lutheran Chorale ‘Was bist du doch, o Seele, so betrübet’. Written on February 9th, 2023, it is marked Grave and unfolds in weighty phrases. The Chorale melody in the right hand is voiced with the sombre colour of the Bassoon 16′, while the left hand provides a soft countermelody while using a gentle Flute stop, over a sustained pedal point in the pedal part. Its depth makes it well-suited for a reflective or meditative moment in services or liturgical programmes.
