Unto Thee I Cry O Lord

Your ringers should enjoy performing this arrangement of J.S. Bach's original work (BWV 639). Steady lines of eighth-notes permeate the work and accompany the melody in octaves, while being supported by a chromatic moving bass line. Musical sensitivity, rhythmic precision, and use of the "Let Vibrate" technique are all necessary for a successful performance. Set in c minor, measures total 32.
