The Concerto for Oboe and Strings in D minor, attributed to Alessandro Marcello, is one of the most performed oboe concertos in the repertory. It was written in the early 18th century and has become Marcello's most famous work. Bach wrote a keyboard transcription of the concerto. Here we offer an arrangement for Violoncello solo and piano based on Bach's transcription.

The Oboe Concerto in D minor, S D935, is an early 18th-century concerto for oboe, strings and continuo attributed to the Venetian composer Alessandro Marcello. The earliest extant manuscript containing Johann Sebastian Bach's solo keyboard arrangement of the concerto, BWV 974, dates from around 1715. As a concerto for oboe, strings and continuo its oldest extant sources date from 1717: that year it was printed in Amsterdam, and a C minor variant of the concerto, S Z799, was written down.

Bach's keyboard version was published as an arrangement of a concerto by Antonio Vivaldi in the 19th century. In 1923 the C minor version of the oboe concerto was published as a composition by Benedetto Marcello, Alessandro's brother. In the second half of the 20th century several publications indicated Alessandro again as the composer of the piece, as it had been in its early 18th-century print, and the oboe concerto was again published in its D minor version.



This arrangement was written for Piano Solo.

Panis angelicus (Latin for"Bread of Angels" or "Angelic Bread") is the penultimatestrophe of the hymn "Sacris solemniis" written by Saint ThomasAquinas for the feast of Corpus Christi as part of a complete liturgy of thefeast, including prayers for the Mass and the Liturgy of the Hours.

The strophe of "Sacrissolemniis" that begins with the words "Panis angelicus"("bread of angels") has often been set to music separately from therest of the hymn. Most famously, in 1872 CésarFranck set this strophe for tenor voice, harp, cello, and organ, andincorporated it into his Messe à trois voix. This version here is for pianosolo.
