Following the example of Bach's “Great German Organ Mass”, where the Mass Ordinary (Lord, have mercy, Glory, Faith, Holy, Lamb of God) and the Mass Proper (Entrance, Offering, Communion, Conclusion) are replaced by organ preludes, fugues and chorale preludes, a selection of the most recognizable and at the same time weighty organ works has been created, which, from the Prelude in E flat major - a French overture in form, the chorale preludes, the Toccata and Fugue in D minor, forms the arc of the “musical” liturgy all the way to the triple fugue, which also concludes the “organ mass”, a form so characteristic of the Baroque period. Bach's exceptional sense for setting different emotional states to music and his mastery of counterpoint and polyphony still convince us today, as with their contemplative power and a kind of monotony they calm the listener and prepare him for an artistic or spiritual experience.
