Ah Bach! In all its beauty, intensity, and calm, this piece is the best of Bach. Superbly scored, O Mensch Bewein Dein Sunde Gross is a must for all bands. The piece captures the essence of one of the most played style periods of modern time - the Baroque period.

The Chorale-Prelude "O Mensch, Bewein' Dein' Sunde Gross" is taken from Bach's 'Orgelbuchlein' collection. Grainger created the setting between 1937 and 1942. While not unusual today, his beautiful realization of the ornamentation was revolutionary in the 1940s.
