The Four Lute Suites

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & John Williams

The Four Lute Suites are a set of four suites composed by Johann Sebastian Bach around 1720. Written in the Baroque idiom, they adapt Bach's contrapuntal and harmonic language to the plucked-string lute repertoire and represent some of his few works for lute, illustrating his exploration of instrumental timbre and formal variation in his early 18th-century output.
