Product description
"Sheep may safely graze" (German: Schafe können sicher weiden) is an aria from the cantata Was mir behagt, ist nur die muntre Jagd, BWV 208, known as the Hunting Cantata, which Bach wrote in 1713.
We now bring you this beautiful piece in a great arrangement for four-hand piano.
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) was a German composer and musician of the Baroque period. He is considered one of the greatest musical geniuses of all time. He was a master of polyphony and brought to perfection the musical form of the fugue. He composed 1126 musical compositions of various forms (they are referred to by the abbreviation BWV and serial number). In his time, Bach became famous mainly as a keyboard player, but as a composer he was less known. His music was perceived as conservative, and after his death it fell into oblivion for almost fifty years.
