In the years around 1700, Vincent Lübeck (1654–1740) was considered one of the leading composers of Northern Europe. The organ builder Arp Schnitger, whose instruments served as Lübeck’s sound-ideal, even referred to him as the “world-famous organist”. Lübeck’s compositions are related stylistically and qualitatively to those of Dietrich Buxtehude and the North German organ school. This two-volume Urtext edition is the first to contain all of the currently available organ and clavier works by Vincent Lübeck père and fils.

A number of unknown compositions whose sources have previously been overlooked appear here for the first time in print. Special attention has been given to the manuscript S.M.G 1691, previously thought to be lost. Besides five works by Lübeck the Elder, it also contains the only known compositions of his like-named son (1684–1755) as well as 38 clavier pieces and 22 chorale settings, all of which derive from Lübeck’s circles in Hamburg and are published in the appendices to the two volumes. Our edition is rigorously based on the surviving source materials.

Each volume contains a critical report and a detailed preface with sections on the sources, ornamentation, editorial technique and performance practice. Rounding off this scholarly-critical performance edition are a number of facsimiles.
