Adaptation: Bach Prelude in G major, BWV 1007 for String Quartet

These are two settings, one with the original cello part for the cello, and with the original an octave up for viola. Here's a link to the score and parts for the cello-dominant version, and here's a link to the score and parts for the viola-dominant version. You can also listen to computer-generated recordings of both versions (the cello-dominant version is first, and the viola-dominant version, which is set at a slower tempo, is second).

Cloud 999

April 28, 2008

I have always been fascinated by Gounod's Ave Maria, and have always wanted to try writing an obbligato of my own on top of a prelude by Johann Sebastian Bach. Mine is for violin and piano, does not have words, and uses two passes of Bach's Prelude BWV 999. A PDF of the music is available on this page of the IMSLP, along with a recording.

Transcription: Bach Brandenburg Concerto #2

This transcription of the Bach Brandenburg Concerto #2, BWV 1047, is for trumpet, organ, and string quartet. It is based on the Barenreiter edition, and the trumpet part is identical to the trumpet part of the original.

The second movement is for string quartet alone. The original instrumentation for the outer movements is indicated in the organ part, but the intended sound is for organ stops and not for electronic approximations of flute and oboe.

The score and parts are available on this page of the IMSLP.

Transcription: Bach Bourrée I and II from Cello Suite No. 4
