Wo Gott der Herr Nicht bei Uns Hält

Wo Gott der Herr nicht bei uns hält is an organ chorale fantasia written by the composer Johann Sebastian Bach, BWV 1128. The manuscript was recently discovered on 15 March 2008 at an auction of items from the collection of Wilhelm Rust (1822 92). The first public record of this chorale fantasia is 1845, almost 100 years after Bach s death, listed among organ pieces by Sebastian Bach in the estate auction for Johann Nicolaus Julius Kötschau, once organist at St. Mary s in Halle (Saale).
