Dietrich Buxtehude, the organist at St. Mary’s in Lübeck, left behind a large body of music but hardly any manuscripts; only five organ tablatures, two short dedicatory canons, and the score of a Passion cantata. Now Peter Wollny has identified a previously overlooked autograph Buxtehude manuscript in the Düben Collection of Uppsala University Library: a set of parts for the dialogue cantata Herr, ich lasse dich nicht. This source also represents the only known set of original performance material for a work by Buxtehude.
Our facsimile edition, in four-color reproduction, is preceded by a brief commentary in German and English in which Professor Wollny discusses notation, textual transmission and performance practice.
