Product Description
"Das alte Jahr vergangen ist" ("The old year now hath passed away", BWV 288), a meditative and grateful chorale with a fascinating chromatic accompaniment that evokes a passed year full of challenges and troubles, all resolved in the end; here in an arrangement for Woodwind Octet (two Flutes, two Oboes, two Clarinets in Bb, two Bassoons) in which the phrasing follows the syllabation of the german lyrics, while dynamics are an interpretation of mine; in this version the four-part Chorale has been doubled to the upper octave to evoke the sound of an organ registration.
