101 Bach Chorales

I took the music from the book of 101 Chorales Harmonized by Johann Sebastian Bach, and made my own interpretations. I think Johann would be proud. Do you know what year Bach was born? I will give you a hint: It was in 1685.

Number 96 – Holy Art Thou, Lord God of Sabbath is quite a bit more intricate than the first song in the book. What do you think?


My personal favorites are No. 40 – Salvation Unto Us Has Come and 56 – Oh Jesus What Law Have you Broke?

The first chorales are much simpler than the last ones, have more instruments and more than one verse.(There was a learning curve involved here)

By the way, I did not change the titles of these chorales! Here are Chorales 40 and 56:
