His Benedicam Dominum calls for two vocal choirs and four instrumental ones, and his few surviving oratorios include Castrum doloris and Templum honoris. A pedal is used in all three of his ostinato works, and though he published little keyboard music during his life much of it was passed down through Gustaf Duben. He sits near Johann Reincken in the only surviving portrait of him, Johannes Voorhout's Domestic Music Scene. He continued his predecessor Franz Tunder's tradition of holding Abendmusik concerts five Sundays a year, while his core of organ works includes 32 variations on the aria "La Capricciosa" as well as 19 praeludia. Another of his works is based on the poem Salve mundi salutare by Arnulf of Louvin and is a cycle of seven cantatas each dedicated to a part of Jesus's body, Membra Jesu Nostri. For 10 points, name this Danish-German composer whose organ skills inspired J.S. Bach to walk from Arnstadt to Lubeck just to see him play.
