Percy Grainger: Blithe Bells

 

Today’s video is a rarely played arrangement of one of the most famous J.S. Bach pieces of all time, the aria “Sheep may safely graze,” from his cantata BWV 208.
It’s a highly imaginative arrangement, that in no way tries to be precise in transcribing the original. In effect it sounds much more like a free improvisation that still follows the basic outline of the aria.
Hope you enjoy this little offering! Next week, I am planning to finish up my Rachmaninoff 1st concerto upload for the new year.
