West Point Organist Craig Williams plays the popular Fantasy on the Epiphany chorale, translated "How Lovely Shines the Morning Star," by Dieterich Buxtehude. Buxtehude's improvisatory style, inspired by the great pipe organs at the Marienkirche, (Lübeck), was a great influence on Johann Sebastian Bach and many others. Using toccata and dance-forms in setting sacred ideas, Buxtehude laid the groundwork for creative composition of chorale preludes to the present day.
