3. Den Tod niemand zwingen kunnt (Kantate Nr. 4): Organ Arrangement

J. S. Bach  

I have arranged the third movement, "Den Tod niemand zwingen kunnt" (No one can leap over death), from J.S. Bach's Cantata No. 4, "Christ lag in Todesbanden." This arrangement is written to be played on a two-manual keyboard without pedal (manualiter). However, if you play on an organ with three or more manuals, you can separate the part played by the left hand and play it using three manuals. For the parts marked to be played on the swell, make a registration with quieter sound to give the feeling of a basso continuo accompaniment.
