Enchant your listeners with this intermediate arrangement for woodwind quartet of Johann Sebastian Bach's iconic "Fugue in G minor BWV 578," also known as his "Little Fugue"--instantly downloadable for your next performance. This arrangement is perfect for recitals, contests, competitions, graduations, Pops concerts, church gigs, and weddings. This classic tune, originally dating from the Baroque Era, was written for advanced high school ensembles, college groups, amateur ensembles, and professional quartets. As always, I have included an alternate bass clarinet part in lieu of a missing bassoon.
Bach wrote this iconic work circa 1707 when he was employed as an organist in Arnstadt, Germany. This excellent example of a Baroque fugue features a subject, counter subject, development section, and a recap with a Picardy Third--shifting from a minor key and ending on a major chord. Originally scored for organ, I hope you enjoy this setting for woodwind quartet. In fact, you can instantly download this arrangement for your next performance directly from Craig Music Publishers right now.
