Description
Arrangement of the Lutheran hymn Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland (Come now, saviour of the heathens) based on the final Chorale of Bach's Cantata by the same name (BWV 62).
This arrangement was made specially for a choir whose sopranos prefer to sing relatively low, so it is in the key of G minor. The instrumental parts (oboe, cor anglais and string quartet) also follow the same harmonies as the Bach original.
