Bach: Christmas Oratorio BWV248 "Sinfonia Pastoral" - symphonic wind by Johann Sebastian Bach Woodwind Quintet - Digital Sheet Music

By Johann Sebastian Bach

The well known Sinfonia Pastoral comes from the second part of Bach's Christmas Oratorio.It is scored for 2 flutes, 2 oboe d'amore, 2 oboe da caccia, strings, continuoI have added natural horns in G. ( Horns in F are provided as well)Bach uses the 4 "oboes" to indicate the shepherds, as a counter melody to that of the strings.I have used the 2 oboes and bassoon 1 as the mainstay of the oboe quartet and given the sustained notes played by Bach's 4th oboe to horn or clarinet. This keeps the counter melody on the double reed instruments, and gives a fair refection of Bach's original.Flutes, clarinets and bassoon 2 play the original string parts.Arranged here for double wind quintet and bass

The well known Sinfonia Pastoral comes from the second part of Bach's Christmas Oratorio.
It is scored for 2 flutes, 2 oboe d'amore, 2 oboe da caccia, strings, continuo

I have added natural horns in G. ( Horns in F are provided as well)

Bach uses the 4 "oboes" to indicate the shepherds, as a counter melody to that of the strings.

I have used the 2 oboes and bassoon 1 as the mainstay of the oboe quartet and given the sustained notes played by Bach's 4th oboe to horn or clarinet. This keeps the counter melody on the double reed instruments, and gives a fair refection of Bach's original.

Flutes, clarinets and bassoon 2 play the original string parts.

Arranged here for double wind quintet and bass.
