About this arrangement

Orchestra String Orchestra - Grade 3 SKU: AP.36-20250474 Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Arranged by Percy Hall. Performance Music Ensemble; String Orchestra. Great Works Publishing. Masterwork Arrangement; Meters. Score and Part(s). LudwigMasters Publications #36-20250474. Published by LudwigMasters Publications (AP.36-20250474). UPC: 746241282354. English.One of Bach's most famous melodies (actually written as a chorale by Johann Schop and embellished by J.S. Bach), this is a timeless classic with value on any program. The chorale melody is placed an octave lower than in the original choral work, providing the cellos with a delightful, melodic part. Even the second violins get their chance at the interweaving eighth-note obbligato melody in this well-balanced work. True to the original, 3/4 and 9/8 meters are sometimes used simultaneously in the ensemble. These products are currently being prepared by a new publisher. While many items are ready and will ship on time, some others may see delays of several months.
