Johann Samuel Beyer (1669-1744) assumed the position of Kantor at St. Mary's Cathedral in Freiberg (Saxony) in 1699. Between 1716 and 1719 his Musicalische Vorrath (Musical source), a comprehensive collection of two-part chorale variations for organ or other keyboard instruments was published. The selection in the present volume offers an attractive enrichment for organists of liturgical repertoire for Advent, Christmas and Epiphany. An optional figured bass realization for the bass line has been added in small print. Clearly, practiced organists can shape and elaborate these pieces by means of improvisation.

Noël, the French word for “Christmasâ€, has been used to identify a genre of organ works for the Christmas Season since the time of the French Baroque Period. Noëls (carols and shepherd songs) provided organists with the opportunity to improvise variations on recognizable tunes in and out of worship during the Christmas Season. This collection provides a critical and practical edition of selected works.
