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

The Canzona by Franz Tunder, found in S-Uu Ms. Ihre 285

Except for one work, all remaining pieces by Franz Tunder only occur in one early source. 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].
