Description:
Fantasy on the hymn "Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern" Contrapunct sopra la Baßigaylos D'Altr. for violin and basso continuo (Minorite Convent Vienna, Codex 726). Series: "Denkmäler der Musik in Salzburg", vol. 14, presented by Bernhard Moosbauer. Facsimile and score. The parts are included with the score.
This anonymous fantasia occupies a special position in the collection of the Minorite Codex; not only because of its large size, but also because of its high musical and virtuoso demands. A repeated descending fourth in the bass allows the violinist to develop his virtuosity. This takes place in two stages. After an initial climax, the movement slows down and then speeds up again. Towards the end of this section, the violin introduces the chorale melody, marking the actual beginning of the hymn arrangement. The following chorale arrangement is based on the principle of the North German organ toccata; the individual lines of the hymn are "performed" one after the other, using the techniques of the motet-like, imitative movement. Contrasting rhythms and a variety of figures and sound formations ensure that the sections are equally balanced.
