About this Arrangement â?? The regular arpeggio gesture is straightforward on piano, but on guitar the performer may have to do a few adjustments to keep this gesture clear. The performer should play the arpeggios over multiple strings as much as possible allowing the notes to ring beyond their notated values. The music can be realized in various ways; hence the fingerings are suggestions and some measures can be played without a Barre. For an ethereal conclusion, I raised the octave of the last measures.

Prelude N. 1 in C Major (no sharps or flats) is the first of 44 preludes and fugues written by Bach for keyboard. It follows a progression of arpeggiated chords touching multiple keys as it climaxes on an exquisite pedal point in the Dominant before returning to C-major. One of the most often arranged of Bachâ??s compositions, it was most famously the basis of Ave Maria by Charles Gunoud.

This arrangement of Prelude No. 1 in C major, WTC Book I, BWV 846 is featured on the 2022 album â??Godâ??s Time: Music of J.S. Bach on Guitarâ?? by Aaron Larget-Caplan on Tiger Turn (888-09) and streams worldwide. Online lessons are also available.

Bach, John Cage, Isaac Albéniz, Franz Schubert, Reynaldo Hahn, and Alan Hovhaness.

By Aaron Larget-Caplan. By Johann Sebastian Bach. Arranged by Aaron Larget-Caplan. Baroque,Classical,Early Music,Sacred,Spiritual. Individual part. 4 pages. Aaron Larget-Caplan #940737. Published by Aaron Larget-Caplan (A0.1356074).

A beautiful and solemn solo by Johann Sebastian Bach arranged for guitar by award winning composer, arranger, and guitarist Aaron Larget-Caplan.

An early cantata, BWV 106 is assumed to have been written as a funeral cantata while Bach was in Mühlhausen, Germany. In the original, two recorders echo each other in the melody. Due to lack of sustain and technical issues, the guitar is unable to copy that effect fully, but the performer should be aware.

Arranged for moderate level and above players, the solo is written in Drop D (E string 6 tuned down to D).  Most of the playing is in the first three positions and ornamentation is optional.

A note on the history of the work, arrangement, and recording are included, as well as a page for ornament realizations.
