About Bach's Five Chorales for Cello Quartet

Notes about the score:

Johann Sebastian Bach is renowned for his warmth and melodic chorales. He wrote more than 200 during his lifetime, each brilliantly displaying different voices, exquisite contrast, and Baroque artistry. Many of Bach's chorales transfer well to instrumental interpretation and the Five Chorales Arranged for Cello Quartet is a sterling example of using the warm, melodic tones of the cello to produce a choral-like sound.
