J. S. Bach employed the technique with consummate skill in his cantatas, often placing a Lutheran chorale tune in long, sustained notes while surrounding it with richly woven polyphony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis set includes a basic score, a comprehensive selection of interchangeable instrumental parts, and an optional part for solo voice or choir.

The wife of one of the players, Katherine Manville, often generously prepared a sumptuous meal for the quartet and this piece was written so that Katherine, a fine singer, could join in too! The piece was later performed by the fledgling ‘Headington Singers’ singing the vocal part in unison, accompanied ‘on the night’ by the bassoons. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element
