Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Arranged by Paul SanGregory （桑磊栢）. Baroque. Score and parts. 9 pages. Distant Engraver Music #5723341. Published by Distant Engraver Music (A0.977047).In this arrangement of J. S. Bach’s famous Air, the four parts of the original string orchestra are played by four solo contrabasses. The two upper bass parts take turns playing the soaring primary melody while the two lower parts alternate in playing the famous bass line. With only slight modifications and an occasional omission, all of Bach’s original counterpoint is used in a way that preserves clarity and lightness even though the overall range has been compressed for the basses. Both the 1st and 2nd bass parts require performers to play in the high solo register, playing up to high Eb and D respectively. The original key of D major has been transposed to F major for this arrangement.
