Added by magataganm, 28 Feb 2013 Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme, BWV 140, also known as Sleepers Wake, is a church cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach. He composed the chorale cantata in Leipzig for the 27th Sunday after Trinity and first performed it on 25 November 1731. It is based on the hymn Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme (1599) by Philipp Nicolai. Movement 4 of the cantata (in English, "Zion hears the watchmen's voices") corresponds to the organ piece BWV 645, the first of the Schübler Chorales. Although this Aria "Aria Mein Freund ist Mein" (My Beloved is Mine) was written for Chorus, I created this arrangement for Woodwind Quartet (Flute, Oboe, Bb Clarinet & Bassoon). Sheet central : | Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme (25 sheet music) | |
