Sleepers Wake, The Voices Are Calling. Wachet Auf, Rift Uns Die Stimme, Cantata 140.
Instrumentation: C Flute / Alto Flute, C Flute / Alto Flute, Alto Flute / Bass Flute.

Johann Sebastian Bach. Arr. Martin Melicherek, Iii.
Cantata 140 is one of Bach's most famous and beloved sacred cantatas. Based on the late-sixteenth-century hymn composed by Phillip Nicolai, Sleepers Wake is the subject of three of the cantata's seven movements. Originally arranged for two altos and bass flute, alternate C flute and alto parts are included as well, allowing for a performance by almost any combination of flutes. It is particularly effective when performed as a choir piece featuring the lower pitched flutes. Sleepers Wake is often associated with Christmas performances, but this well-recognized work can be enjoyed at any occasion.
