My setting of the great Chorale by Johann Georg Albinus (1652) [alternately attributed to Johannes Rosenmuller (1620-1684)]. I chose a meter of 5/8 because the number 5 is associated with mankind (fingers on a hand = 5, toes on a foot = 5, 2 arms + 2 legs + 1 head = 5, primary senses = 5, and so on). This tune is usually pitched in A or G. I chose the key of F because of another project I'm working on, in which I want to include this melody in F.

The performance was recorded using Hauptwerk, with the Bosch-Schnitger Vollenhove organ from OrganArt, which is pitched at 419.4 Hz.

N.b. I forgot to write a few dots on some of the quarter notes. Can you find the missing dots?
