J S Bach: Air from orchestral suite no 3 transcribed for organ

$3.00

The so-called “Air on the G string”, the Air from the Orchestral suite no 3 by Bach, transcribed for the organ by James Kennerley.

I have deliberately left stop indications to a bare minimum, instead preferring to illustrate the salient orchestral timbres from the full score, with an understanding that the most successful registration schemes will vary widely from instrument to instrument.

Click here to watch a performance of this transcription by James, performed on the Kotzschmar Memorial Organ in Portland, Maine.
