- 4.Es ist das Heil uns kommen her is No. 118 in the manuscript collection known as the Plauener Orgelbuch. It was assembled in 1708, the date sometimes given to Erich's contribution, but there is no indication of when his piece was written. The Plauener Orgelbuch, which has been linked to Johann Gottfried Walther, was acquired by the parish church at Plauen in 1828 and rediscovered there by musicologists in 1910; the original was destroyed in 1945, but there are copies.
