Sanctus in D Minor

The Sanctus in d minor (BWV 239) is an accessible work for mixed chorus, strings, and keyboard. The original score contains instrumental parts for two violins, viola, and basso continuo, which can be performed by full string ensemble, keyboard, and voices. However, because the viola and bass string parts are duplicated in the keyboard part, a satisfactory performance may be accomplished by using only the-two violin parts with keyboard and voices.
