DESCRIPTION:
Prelude for Wind Quartet
(from English Suite III, BWV 808)
Music by J.S. Bach (1685-1750)
(arr. William George)

Jeff Pelletier, flute
Lauris Davis, oboe
Julia Nolan, alto saxophone
Julie Begg, bass clarinet

This arrangment is a re-orchestration for Erato’s amazing wind players of the Prelude from Bach's English Suite III. The piece is transformed into a fast-paced showcase for the skills of the musicians, and finds them passing the melodic material quickly between them, filling in the harmonies when not playing lightning-speed runs. Now, take a deep breath, and... GO!
~ William George
