Description
Zion Hears the Watchmen Singing - Two part arrangement for SA chorus or Duet. This is an excerpt from J. S. Bach's Cantata 140. The accompanying keyboard part has been slightly simplified and can be performed on any keyboard instrument or subsituted with the original orchestral score. The Vocal parts are in two languages, my own version in English and the original German text are both included on the score.
