The Eight Little Fugues, each originally paired with preludes are often performed in churches because of their technical ease and brevity. They have finally been attributed to Bach by most scholars after a number of years of doubt. They are less technically difficult than the full-blown fugues of Bach, but still equally full of beauty and commanding mastery.
They are all less than 3 minutes in length with four in major keys and four in minor, appropriate for moderately advanced performers.
These may be performed in a quartet or choir setting with multiple performers on a part.

Ralph Sauer has beautifully arranged Bach's famous melody Arioso taken from Cantata No. 156 & Clavier Concerto No. 5. Each part of the melody is repeated, the first time with the simple Cantata phrasing and the second time from the ornamented Clavier Concerto. The end result is a beautiful melding of a piece of music from heaven for four part Trombone Ensemble. This work can be performed by moderately advanced musicians.

Capriccio in B-flat, BWV 992 is an early keyboard work, first performed at age 19 when his brother Johann Jacob travelled to become an oboist in the army of Charles XII of Sweden. The 12-minute work for 4-part Trombone ensemble is appropriate for advanced performers. Dr. Marcellus has dedicated his arrangement to the memory of the late Steve Witser, his former student and colleague who was Principal Trombonist with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. The work is separated into six sections titled:
1. Arioso: Adagio - His friends try to persuade him not to undertake the journey
2. Andante - His friends tell him of the various misfortunes that may befall him abroad
3. Adagiosissimo - The general lament of his friends
4. Andante con moto - His friends come, since they see that it must be, and take leave of him
5. Posthorn Aria
6. Fugue in Imitation of the Posthorn.
