Note:
Bach's famous melody from his Orchestral Suite No. 3 is arranged here for a cappella SATB choir. The basses provide a pizzicato style bass line while the sopranos sing the melody to "alleluia" with contrapuntal answers in the alto and tenor parts. The arrangement cleverly disguises the modulations to accommodate vocal ranges. Great as a fun concert piece or encore!
