Aperite Portas (Anonymous)

This work has been misattributed. See notes for details and correct composer below or see the discussion page. WRONG AUTHOR? It seems this music is from Martin Luther, and only arranged by JSB. It doesn't appear in any of the "official" lists of JSB music. --Giulia tonelli There might already be a page under the German title to move this apparent contafactum to. The new link doesn't display readable noteheads for me, so I can't try to ID. Richard Mix (talk) 23:56, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
