Franz Tunder
Franz Tunder
Analysis
The organ chorale works of Franz Tunder can be divided into four categories[1]:
- Verse cycles with separate verses - Jesus Christus, unser Heiland
- Continuous Verse cycles - Auf meinen lieben Gott
- Choral ricercare - Jesus Christus, wahr' Gottes Sohn
- Choral Fantasie (the rest of the surviving compositions)
Works
Except for one work, all remaining pieces by Franz Tunder are unicas. The sources of Tunder's organ music are in three main categories:
a collection of manuscripts in the Rätsbucherei, Lüneburg.
- The Lüneburg Tablatures, including Mus.ant.pract. K.N. 209.
- The Pelplin Tablatures, a collection of manuscripts from the Pelplin Monestary.
- The Canzona by Tunder is located in a manuscript currently housed in the Universitetsbibliotek, Uppsala.
Note: numbers in brackets are written in the manuscript by a librarian.

Other theorized works
Two chorale fantasias from the Pelplin Tablatures are theorized to be by Franz Tunder by Klaus Beckmann, despite the composer "H.M.T." being written[2]. He also theorized that the anonymous Magnificat octavi toni (also a chorale fantasia) from the Zellerfeld Tablatures no.1 is by Tunder[Citation needed].
The first praeludium in D-Lr Mus.ant.pract. K.N. 207/16, which is anonymous, has been described as being reminiscent of Tunder[3].
