"Ach, wir armen Sünder" (#15)

 

"Mit Fried' und Freud'" (#14)

 

"Ein Kindelein so löbelich" (#13)

 

Telemann's repeat signs have four dots instead of the now-standard two.  I don't know if this is one of his idiosyncrasies or just the way repeat signs were written in the 18th century, but since I have to put the repeat signs in my notation manually, I also put four dots.

"Da Jesus an dem Creuze stund" (#12)

 

As with the last tune, I used 16', 8', & 4'.

"Da Jesus an dem Creuze stund" (#11)

 

Instead of my usual registration, I used 16', 8', & 4'.

"Vom Himmel hoch" (#10)

 

"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'.

First set of alternate notes:

Second set of alternate notes:

"Ein Kind gebohr'n zu Bethlehem" (#7)

 

I used a different registration for this one.  Usually, I use 16', 8', 4', and 2', but that sounded too heavy for this, so I used just 8' and 4'.

This is an-other tune with two sets of alternate notes, so I had to go through it three times.  The second set actually makes the tune a measure shorter.  (I kept the blank space at the bottom of the notation so it would still match up exactly with the other two iterations in the video.)

"Gelobet seyst du, Jesu Christ" (#6)

 

"Christum wir sollen loben schon" (#5)

 

I decided to include the notation in these posts too because sometimes it can be a bit hard to read in the video.  I also went back and added the notation for previous tunes.

"Christum wir sollen loben schon" (#4)

 

In the manuscript, there's a note in the top corner of this page.  I can't make out all of it, but I think it indicates that #4 and #5 are the same tune.  This is evident from the notation itself, and in place of a title for #5, Telemann has written "oder" ("or").
