Johann Sebastian Bach ‘Vor deinen Thron tret ich hiermit’ (‘Herewith I come before Thy Throne’) BWV 668a Canto fermo in fermo from The Art of Fugue BWV 1080 (realization for solo soprano and instruments by Cinzia Barbagelata)
Lavinia Bertotti, soprano Ensemble Aglaia Cinzia Barbagelata, director
In the introduction to the first printed edition of ‘The Art of Fugue’ (1751), this ending chorale, ‘Vor deinen Thron tret ich hiermit’ (‘Herewith I come before Thy Throne’), derived from BWV 668a, which has no thematic link with the remainder of the work, is \"noted as a recompense for the work's incompleteness, having purportedly been dictated by Bach on his deathbed.\" (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Art_of_Fugue)
