Durch Adams Fall ist ganz verderbt (BWV 637)
from Das Orgelbüchlein by Johann Sebastian Bach
Background
Bach's chorale arrangement of Durch Adams Fall is famous for pictorial symbolism. "The interval of a descending diminished seventh in the bass describes the sinful fall, the alternation between major and minor (f sharp and f natural) mankind's vacillation, while an undulating alto voice portrays the snake in paradise."Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag
