Grade 3 SKU: CL.012-1792-00
Arranged by A. Reed. Concert Band. Bach Series arranged by Alfred Reed. Score and set of parts. Composed 1985. Duration 4 minutes, 1 second. Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications #012-1792-00. Published by Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications (CL.012-1792-00). An excellent example of Bach as a song writer. Taken from a volume of sacred songs published in 1736, Bach identifies it as an aria, not as a chorale, and must have thought of it as a lyrical melody to be sung in concert rather than as four square chorale.
