Arioso is part of Johann Sebastian Bach's Cantata 156 which corresponds to the same number in his B.W.V. catalog. The symphony was probably derived from an earlier oboe concerto and was later adapted as part of Bach's Concerto for harpsichord in F minor. This instrumental quartet version was created with ensemble practice in mind for beginning music school students who want more contact with Baroque music, ideal also for liturgical performance in churches, as it is a sacred work. This version lasts 2:25 minutes with the original melody adapted with the harmony divided between the voices of the performers.

This is the most famous Saxophone Soundtrack and brings always much fun to the players and the audience.
The arrangement for 1 Alto Saxophone, 2 Tenor Saxophones and 1 Baritone Saxophone starts with a impressive tutti and goes on with a funny Baritone Walking.
It´s an easy arrangement for intermediate skilled players, but even the most advanced players will enjoy it while they can show their skills in the solo part. This theme lives from precise ensemble phrazing. You will enjoy the jazzy voicings.
