Description
Arrangement based on J S Bach’s harmonisation of the old German Christmas tune O Jesulein süß
I have provided five different sections here which can be performed in sequence or separately
during an event or service.
Section 1 is the original Bach version with the top instrument one octave higher
Section 2 provides a highly ornamented version of the tune on the top instrument
and a few decorations in voice 2
Section 3 and 4 switch the voices round so that voice 3 has the melody or ornamented version
and the top 2 voices take the lines of the lower 2
The final section is the same as section 1 except that the parts are quieter and more legato.
