Break Forth, O Beauteous Heavenly Light

Bach's setting of the chorale "Break Forth, O Beauteous Heavenly Light" (ERMUNTRE DICH) is offered here in an arrangement for solo piano. Originally from Part II of Bach's Christmas Oratorio for the Second Day of Christmas, this chorale is a setting of the Johann Rist (1607-67) text "Brich an, o schones Morgenlicht." and in the story is placed right before the angels appear to the shepherds. This arrangement can also be played on a harp. It is part of the series CAROLS FOR PIANO that contains more Bach chorales and other original and delightful settings and arrangements for your Christmas celebrations, recitals, or worship services.
