The image shows a typed program or announcement page, partially tucked into a book or album. The document is titled as follows:

  • "Harvard-Radcliffe Organ Society and Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures present"
  • The featured performer is "Ruth Tiefenthaler, organist."
  • The program is dedicated to "Works of Johann Sebastian Bach."

The program lists:

  2. "Three lenten chorale preludes from the Orgelbüchlein:"

The listed chorale preludes are:

  • "CHRISTS, DU LARM GOTTES (no. 21)," followed by some German text which appears to be lyrics or hymn lines.
  • "CHRISTUS, DER UNS SELIG MACHT (no. 22)," with additional German text.
  • "O MENSCH, BEWEIN DEIN' SÜNDE GROSS," again followed by German text.

The documents appear to be typewritten on plain white paper, and the text is aligned center and left justified in different sections.
