Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Arranged by Ray Kamada. Baroque,Christmas,Concert,Easter,Sacred. Score and parts. 10 pages. The Lone Arranger #3007947. Published by The Lone Arranger (A0.757286).Written for chamber orchestra in 1749 but not performed during his life, the Benedictus is part of what some call one of the greatest classical compositions. Here, the cello plays Bach's soprano melody line but in the tenor range. The viola (or violin) plays what was Bach's bass counterpoint in the alto range. And the soprano violin is given an entirely new melody in place of Bach's formerly straight alto harmony. Thus, three contrapuntal melody lines now weave dynamically between fore and background. Suitable for concerts, this arrangement is not recommended as sight reading for gigs, especially for the cello.
