"Vom Himmel hoch" (#9)

 

This is quite different from what I'm familiar with, but the next tune is an-other version of "Vom Himmel hoch," and that one is more recognizable.

"In dulci jubilo" (#8)

 

This is one of the few tunes (if not the only tune) in the Lieder-Buch with a title in Latin rather than German.  In the Register (and it seems even in Telemann's handwriting), the script is different; it's not the Gothic German that's sometimes hard to read.  To reflect this in my video, I used a different type font (Constantia) than I usually do.

Because it's a longer tune, I had to break up my notation into two sections.  I also used a different organ registration than usual.  Normally, it's 16', 8', 4', and 2', but for this one, I also added 1'.
