Christ unser Herr zum Jordan kam

Historical context

BuxWV 180 is a solo organ composition by Dietrich Buxtehude, known for its intricate counterpoint and expressive melodic lines. Composed in the late 17th century, this work exemplifies Buxtehude's mastery of the organ as both an instrument and a medium for profound musical expression. The first published edition appeared between 1875-76, making it accessible to musicians well after Buxtehude's lifetime.
