Eighteen Chorale Preludes No.3, BWV 653, “An Wasserflussen Babylon” (Quartet)

5 min.

composed by Bach, J. S.

There are two first drafts, BWV 653b and 653a, and this BWV 653 is the final version. It is one of the most beautiful piece of this suite. Using demure patterns of music notes, this music creates an agreeable sensation.
