JS Bach's
Choral prelude for Organ,
Wachet Auf, has become a
favourite of wedding
couples for processional
or recessional music
because of its joyous
liveliness and beauty.
The cantata Wachet Auf
BWV 140 contains a
Biblical warning to be
alert for the arrival of
salvation, but Bach seems
to have chosen to wake
his sleepers with
delightful sounds.The
arranger, Charles
Macpherson, was an
Organist at St Paul's
Cathedral in London and a
professor of composition
at the Royal Academy of
Music. He has made his
interpolations clear by
the use of brackets.
