- Fugue in D major from Das Wohltemperierte Klavier II (SATB)
- Air from Orchestral Suite No. 3 (SSATB)
- Allegro from Brandenburg Concerto No. 6 (SSATBB)
Three arrangements of well-known pieces by J.S. Bach for unaccompanied mixed voices
These three transcriptions are the perfect suite of songs for a concert, adding a sense of fun. They were first performed in a summer concert in the Beaford Centre’s gardens in Devon, on a sunny but windy day amongst roses, ornamental hedges and hollyhocks, followed by a traditional Devon Cream tea. The arrangements are beautifully contrasting yet complimentary when performed together.
The Air from Suite no. 3 is wonderfully reflective and serene and has the advantage of being so familiar to audiences, it will transport you heavenwards. The Allegro from the Brandenburg Concerto no. 6 is an exhilarating sing and leaves the audience yearning for more!
