    Johann Sebastian Bach

    Suite No.3 in D major


    It contains five movements:
    Ouverture (French Overture)
    Air (Aria ) Gavotte I/II Bourree Gigue

    Instrumentation: Trumpet I/II/III, Timpani, Oboe I/II, Violin I/II, Viola, Basso Continuo

    Air on the G String


    It is the second movement from Bachs Orchestral Suite

    No.3.
    The original was written between the years 1717 and 1723. It was the very first work by Bach to be recorded. The title comes from violinist August Wilhelmjs late 19th century arrangement of the piece for violin and

    piano.

    Gigue
    The Third Suite closes with a vigorous Gigue, a

    dance that swings along in customary triplesounding meter (in this case 6/8). The gigue is scored for the same instrumentation as the Ouverture.
