Air in D (from Orchestral Suite No. 3)—J.S. Bach/arr. William H.
Mathis.
Suggested for 13 ringers and printed in a nontraditional 4-staff format,
Air in D is a creative setting of the J. S. Bach favorite. The bottom staff is for the
malleted bass line, mimicking pizzicato cello; the middle two staves carry the rest
of the accompaniment on chimes; and the top staff is the melody for a few ringers
or solo instrument. Air in D would be a lovely addition to any worship service,
wedding ceremony or concert venue.

sections makes this easy to master! Your group will have a ball with this!
