Both the prelude and postlude this Sunday are based upon the German Lutheran chorale tune Nun Danket Alle Gott (Now Thank We all Our God). The two arrangements are a study in contrasts. The first is by J.S. Bach, who set the tune in a stately form using a solo trumpet. The second is by Fred Bock, who composed his flashy arrangement in the style of Diane Bish, the organist famous for her "Joy of Music" television series, sequined clothing, and gold shoes.
