This collection of Baroque music is arranged for the intermediate level clarinetist with the piano part being of equal skill level. The music is taken from keyboard, song and chamber music sources and represents quality Baroque styles circa 1625 - 1775. Composers include Johann S. Bach, Jean P. Rameau, Alessandro Scarlatti, G. F. Handel, Domenic Scarlatti, Antonio Vivaldi, C. P. E. Bach, and Johann J. Froberger. This music can be played by clarinetists for church, festival, school and leisure occasions.

This beloved work by J. S. Bach is arranged here for Soprano (Descant) Recorder with a fully realized keyboard part that is accessible to intermediate players and can be played on piano, organ, or harpsichord. It is perfect for weddings, concerts, or solo/ensemble repertoire and is able to be used with the Choral Edition, which provides a new translation. For worship, it can be performed almost any time since it exudes peace and joy, but it is particularly suited for Advent and Christmas since it comes from Cantata 147, "Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben" ("Heart and Mouth and Deeds and Life"), a cantata about Mary, the mother of Jesus, visiting her cousin Elizabeth and singing the Magnificat (see Luke 1:26-56). An optional part is provided for Cello/Bassoon. An arrangement with an easier keyboard part is also available as are arrangements for Alto (Treble) Recorder or Tenor Recorder and other instruments and ensembles.

This is a new transcription for piano of the third movement (Largo e spiccato) of J.S. Bach's Concerto in D minor, BWV 596. Bach's original organ concerto was itself a transcription of Vivaldi's Concerto in D minor for two violins and obbligato violoncello (RV 565, Op.3 No. 11). It has been arranged to bring out the best qualities of this hauntingly beautiful melody.

Das Dreyblatt, W.F.E.Bach

This is an adaptable quintet arrangement of the famed "Sailor's Hornpipe." Rather than have the highest pitch instrument play the melody the entire time, it passes from instrument to instrument throughout. This is meant to make it a bit more interesting to play for the performers, but also add variety to a tune that's been arranged in so many settings. This will also make it more achievable by younger players by breaking it up some.

This piece can be played by:
Brass Quintet
Brass Choir
Woodwind Quintet / Mixed Woodwind Ensemble
Clarinet Quintet
Saxophone Quintet or Ensemble.

My arrangement for organ of the five-part chorus 'Et Incarnatus Est' from Bach's 'Mass In B Minor' (BWV 232, Credo ? No. 16). The included registration is only a suggestion and is left entirely to the organist?s discretion depending on the specification of the instrument. An mp3 file of the full score is available to listen to or watch via my YouTube Channel.
