| Description: |
| This is the last movement of the Bach Suite No. 1 arranged for Four Celli. With the release of this movement, I am also releasing the complete set at a discounted price. The Gigue is yet another dance, but different than the Menuets. Although it is characterized as a lively dance, I'm hearing a more sedate mood in the writing. The movement begins with doubling in the upper and lower voices. Harmonies are introduced from time to time, but, not until the last quarter of the piece do we bring in an over-arching theme. The skill level is not as challenging as the Menuet movements, it only reaches to the C above middle C in the first part. The melodic line transfers to cello 3 and the 4th part is the percussion section, keeping the beat, which is necessary for the bit of syncopation. Enjoy |
