Bach and Before for Strings
Four-Part Chorales from the 16th, 17th,
and 18th Centuries
David Newell.
Four-part chorales are a great way to improve ensemble playing. And, since each
book includes all four voices - soprano, alto, tenor, and bass - there are a number of
programming options. In addition to this, as the voice parts are individually rehearsed and
learned, the students discover that all voice parts of a chorale are important. When played
in four-part harmony, the chorales become naturally expressive, because all students
know all four parts and they understand which voice should predominate at any given
time. Students love playing chorales, because they sound so good! The chorales range in
difficulty from very easy to very sophisticated and are suitable for year two through
high school string orchestras. This is the perfect book for helping students master the
important concepts of chorale performance.

Bach Chorales For Strings
J. S. Bach/Thurston.
J.S. Bach's wonderful chorales are perfect for orchestras...for performance, warm-up,
and for the study of precise intonation and ensemble playing. This set of 28 chorales
retains Bach's original four-part settings, with only octave doublings added for a
richer texture and to keep the instruments in a comfortable range. These chorales
are suitable for both concert and church use, with several being appropriate for the
Christmas and Easter seasons.
