Bach, Johann Sebastian : Festive Choral settings from Cantatas

These arrangements for choir and organ meet the frequently made request to be able to perform well-known movements from Bach cantatas without the expense of a larger ensemble/orchestra. The cantata movements can be performed in accordance with the church year, but are also suitable for performance in festive services and concerts.

Ingo Bredenbach has been working as Cantor and Organist in T¸bingen since 2010. Until 2009 he was Professor and Rector at the Hochschule for Kirchenmusik in T¸bingen. He has already arranged Gabriel FaurÈís ìRequiemî for the Choir & Organ series.
