Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Arranged by Daniel Kaplan. This edition: audio, pdf, streaming. Baroque, Chamber, Classical. 51 pages. Daniel Kaplan #1215058. Published by Daniel Kaplan (A0.1648255).

Bach's "Great" Prelude and Fugue in A minor, BWV 543, is a monumental work for organ, and a companion piece to the "Great" Fantasia and Fugue in G minor (which Kaplan has also arranged). Over the years it has been transcribed for piano, orchestra, etc., but this is the first arrangement I'm aware of for woodwind quintet. The character of the piece is somewhat changed, becoming livelier and more dance-like, but it remains a wonderful "flight" of fancy (arguably the original meaning of "fugue"), and by the end the attentive listener may be quite carried away.

This is part of Kaplan's project to enhance and broaden the woodwind-quintet repertoire with both great classics and beautiful lesser-known works. The varied timbres of the woodwind instruments lend themselves well to contrapuntal music, allowing the individual parts to be more clearly perceived and followed by the listener. (Kaplan has made many other woodwind-quintet arrangements, for most of which the sheet music is available from SheetMusicDirect and SheetMusicPlus.).
