Darkness into Light: A Meditation on Chorale Preludes of Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)

Thirteen chorale preludes by Johann Sebastian Bach—drawn from collections including the Orgelbüchlein, Great Eighteen Chorales, Clavier-Übung III—and the miscellaneous chorales, on hymns celebrating seasons of the church year and elements of the faithful life.

Played on the Faith Seattle Sanctuary pipe organ, built in 2022 as the final installation of The Pipe Organ Foundation, with tonal finishing by Aaron Reichert of Staunton, Virginia.

Organist David Buice is Director of Music at Faith Lutheran Church, Seattle.
