Lutheran Carnival 51: Dieterich Buxtehude

The Mrs. at The Moose Report has done an excellent job of wrangling stray posts to put together the 51st issue of the Lutheran Carnival.  She writes:

Welcome to Lutheran Carnival LI!! I’m honored to pitch in and help my brother-in-law keep this carnival going, although I must admit that I have not regularly visited the carnivals until recently.

Being a church musician and holding a B.A. in Music from a Lutheran college, I would be remiss in my duties as host if I did not select as my little known Lutheran contributor a church musician. Every “in-tuned” Lutheran knows J.S. Bach, of course, and though at times I will select an organ work by the famous Baroque composer, my favorite organ piece is by another, lesser known Baroque composer.

Meet Dieterich Buxtehude.
