Best of Bach: Full Orchestra

From the Birthday Cantata, this familiar tune is filled with the infectious melodic material and mesmerizing harmonic content that are so characteristically Bach. The Best of Bach can be played with just strings or by adding any combination of winds up to full orchestra instrumentation.

In the full orchestra series, all material (except percussion) is covered in the string writing so the pieces can be performed in their entirety by a string orchestra, or by adding winds and percussion you can perform these works as a full orchestra.
