Nun lob mein Seel' den Herren

Historical context

BuxWV 214 is a composition for organ by Dietrich Buxtehude, one of his later works from around 1700. This piece, while lacking specific details about its premiere or dedicatee, exemplifies Buxtehude's late style, characterized by complex counterpoint and expressive chromaticism. Its first publication in 1875-76 highlights the posthumous rediscovery of Baroque music, which was part of a broader revival of interest in historical compositions during the late 19th century.
