General Comments: This very recognizable melody of the Arioso will appeal to any audience. It is not only a beautiful piece, but a master work by Bach, taken from the Weimar period, which is known for Bach's greatest works. It demands great intonation, and very sensitive playing. It will also teach the band to listen to other voices due to the great use of counterpoint. This piece represents agreat work arranged for band, and will prove very benficial to any band program.
