Composed between 1706 and 1713, the Passacaglia and Fugue in c-minor is one of Bach’s earlier works. It remains an important piece even today as it sets the standard for the passacaglia form. Like many of Bach’s work, this piece lends itself particularly well to the brass repertoire. This arrangement is both technically challenging and aurally pleasing. I have used the trumpet in both C and B-flat for their different timbres, but it will sound as well with two trumpets in the same key. On a performance note, I would suggest that you position the players from left to right in the following order: Trumpet in C, Horn, Tuba, Trombone and Trumpet in Bb. This order will become apparent especially at measure 113, where the sound begins a circular pattern which I think you will find pleasing.
