Program Notes

Mutations from Bach is a short sequence of transformations of the plain-song, Christe, du Lamm Gottes (Christ, Thou Lamb of God). It is first heard as harmonized by Joachim Decker (1604); then in the harmionization of J. S. Bach from Cantata No. 23. It is also heard in canon at the twelth (i.e. the choral prelude No. 21 from Bach's Orgelbuchlein. A quotation of the recitative section, Ach, gehe nich voruber from Bach's Cantata No. 23 appears next. Finally, the work concludes with a restatement of the old version of the chorale.
