About this arrangement

Woodwind Ensemble Flute - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.910429 Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Arranged by David Heywood. Baroque. 99 pages. David Heywood #5214411. Published by David Heywood (A0.910429). Bach’s Suite in B Minor was one of four orchestral Suites written by the great master, and is the one that is particularly beloved of flutes players, notably because of the famous "Badinerie" that has been a favorite show piece ever since it was written. Here is an arrangement of the entire suite for Flute Quintet or Flute Choir (Three C flutes, Alto and Bass) that captures all of the contrapuntal genius and catchy melodies of the original. This adaptation is not simplified in any way, though at times the first two flute parts alternate carrying the melody as the top two voices in the original score were often presented in unison for flute and violin. A unique feature of this arrangement is the presentation of the phrasing according to wooden flute performance practice of the period. This piece summons up all of the precision, beauty and grandeur of the golden age of the Baroque, and is a noble and worthy addition to any program!
