Description:
J.S. Bach’s popular arioso, also known as a sinfonia, comes from the introduction to his cantata "Ich steh mit einem Fuß im Grabe", BWV 156. Cheerful and deeply moving, it ranks among the most beloved melodies in Bach’s entire oeuvre and radiates a quiet, comforting beauty. In this arrangement, the deeply expressive melody is sung in the high register of the first tuba and unfolds with warmth and solemnity over a gently flowing accompaniment by the low tuba and euphoniums. The dialogue between the singing melody and its calm, supportive background lends the piece an atmosphere of deep tenderness and inner peace. The work is also an ideal choice for less experienced quartets: If the high notes of the first tuba are out of reach, this part can easily be taken over by the euphonium. A timeless piece of great expressive depth that is equally at home in a concert setting as it is in a moment of reflection.
