Southern Music Company Sinfonia No. 15 - Bach/Atwell - String Orchestra - Gr. 4

Composer: Johann Sebastian Bach
Arranger: Shirl Jae Atwell
Format: Score and Parts
Instrumentation: String Orchestra
Level: 4

Sinfonia No. 15 by Johann Sebastian Bach, originally for piano solo, is now available for string orchestras because of Shirl Jae Atwell's musical arrangement. Sinfonia No. 15 arranged in the original key of B minor with an altered time signature from 9/16 to 9/8, is much more friendly for student musicians. Its dance-like eighth notes and flashy sixteenth-note arpeggiated sections create an exciting Baroque experience.

Teachers will love exploring the key of B minor, arpeggios galore for all instruments, bow distribution with 1/16ths, as well as sustained notes. The overall style found in this arrangement will treat string orchestras and audiences alike to the allure of the Baroque Era.
