Johann Wilhelm Große is an eighteenth-century German composer represented today by a printed contribution to the Lutheran organ tradition. His securely documented work is a collection titled Sechs Choral-Vorspiele für die Orgel, published in Rudolstadt in 1787 by the Bergmannische Hofbuchdruckerei. The set comprises six chorale preludes for organ, situating Große within the late-eighteenth-century culture of printed devotional keyboard music. Unlike many contemporaries whose organ repertory survives only in manuscript, Große’s music entered circulation in engraved print, indicating an intended public or pedagogical market. Although little is known about his biography or broader output, the Rudolstadt publication anchors him to the chorale-prelude tradition that linked parish worship, domestic keyboard practice, and professional organ culture in German-speaking lands. His historical footprint is therefore narrow but tangible: a named composer, a dated print, and a surviving exemplar preserved in a major European library. The organist Thorsten Pirkl recorded "Willkommen, Held im Streite", which can be heard here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZTFKrGAN9g User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
