Bach: Sheep may safely graze transcribed for organ

$5.00

A transcription of Bach’s charming Sheep may safely graze for pipe organ by James Kennerley.

It is the aria from the “hunting” cantata, Was mir behagt, ist nur die muntre Jagd, BWV 208, by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750), which he composed in 1713 when he was working in Weimar.
