Bach, J.S. - Fantasy on "Sleepers, Wake" [Alf:00-5612]

Fantasy on "Sleepers, Wake".

Music by Johann Sebastian Bach / arr. Vernon Leidig.
For: Full Orchestra.

Unlike the Ormandy arrangement of this chorale prelude, the fantasy section begins after the full statement of the chorale. Scoring allows for strings-alone performance in the highly accessible key of G major. With much of the ornamentation removed, more groups have the opportunity to perform this familiar melody. Leidig has done a typically ingenious job of scoring, maintaining the richness of the piece for either string or full orchestra. Ideal for an inspirational combined festival number.

Difficulty 1 - 5: 4.
