Johann Sebastian Bach-Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) is widely regarded as one of the greatest composers of the Baroque era of Western classical music. His music full of rich harmonic language and melodic genius has endured the course of time and has been transcribed and arranged for all types of instruments and instrumental combinations. His music translates well on the Marimba and is frequently used for recital and audition repertoire. The music in this collection includes many of Bach's best-known works transcribed for the Marimba and carefully selected for the developing mallet player. This collection can also serve as a useful resource for the advanced player looking forsight-reading material or repertoire to perform at special events ceremonies or receptions. Each work is presented in versions for both two and four-mallet techniques for Marimba players with different ability levels. The works can be performed individually or together in a group. Includes: 'Jesu Joy of Mans Desiring' 'O Sacred Head Now Wounded' 'Sheep May Safely Graze' 'Gavotte' 'Badinerie and Minuet from Orchestral Suite No. 2' 'Bourreé' and more.

16 well-known original pieces in progressive order of difficulty with practical comments-Johann Sebastian Bach is more or less the alpha and omega of piano playing: there is hardly a piano pupil who did not start off with his little preludes or his inventions. And almost all pianists regard his Well-tempered Clavieras an unsurpassed highpoint in the history of piano music. Our volume follows these well-trodden paths but not without the occasional sideways glance at some less prominent pieces by the Master such as his picturesque ?Capriccioon the departure of a beloved brother?.

Schwingt Freudig Euch Empor BWV 36 (final version)Cantata for the First of Advent- Urtext of the New Bach Edition- Performance material (BA10036) vocal score (BA10036-90) and study score (TP1036) available for saleBärenreiter's editions of Bach Cantatas offer the authoritative text of the New Bach Edition meeting Bärenreiter Urtext standards. No group of works in Johann Sebastian Bach?s output is as wide-ranging as the cantatas. This is hardly surprising considering that for over five years Bach was required to compose a work or at least re-work an existing one for every Sunday and festival of thechurch year as well as for numerous secular occasions such as council inaugurations school and university celebrations and royal birthdays.Unfortunately not all cantatas have survived. However over 200 sacred and secular works exist and form a corpus of works suitable for all possible occasions. This rich musical heritage is still as relevant today as it was then.
