I still don’t quite get these J.S. Bach arrangements. I have to fight with myself to even get them to this state. I really wish I had a choir director giving me some direction on dynamics and tempo.
Clarinet Arrangement: 034.TheHolySonOfGodMostHigh
There are these single notes at the end of lines, which I find I have a tendency to hit too hard instead of letting the phrase taper off.
Well, as I like to maintain, hymns are made for the common people, they are not supposed to be perfect. You just have to try.
