ARIAS for SOLO VOICES with Obbligato Instruments
by J.S. BACH
held at
The Music Library, TC 234
Western Libraries
The University of Western Ontario
London, Ontario, CANADA N6A 3K7
This page has been prepared as a convenience for those singers and instrumentalists enrolled in the Bach Aria Group chamber music course at the University of Western Ontario's Don Wright Faculty of Music.
Instrumental parts for ONLY the individual Cantata movements listed below are held/owned by the Western Libraries Music Library. These parts are available either as part of a published 11-volume collection of arias with selected obbligato parts (M 2026.B33), or else as a set of complete orchestral parts for an individual Cantata (the latter will be located in our Choral/Band/Orchestral Music Library, TC 234 = CBO).
The French-language site, Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) Catalogue BWV is an extremely useful resource for both singers and instrumentalists to aid in selecting appropriate arias for a particular vocal range and a specific obbligato instrument.
