Variations on ‘Let us cradle the little child’

Franz Xaver Murschhauser (1663–1738) was a South German composer and music theorist of the Baroque period. He worked primarily as an organist and conductor at the Frauenkirche in Munich. In addition to his organ works, he also composed sacred music and cycles of variations on Christmas carols.
His 6 Variations for Recorder Quartet, which are suitable for ensembles, teaching and concerts, are also in this tradition.
