Orchestral Suites 3 & 4

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Academy of Ancient Music & Christopher Hogwood

Orchestral Suites Nos. 3 and 4 are orchestral suites by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed in the early 18th century (c. 1720). They exemplify the Baroque dance-suite form through a sequence of overture-style and dance movements, employing orchestral colour and contrapuntal textures that reflect Bach's middle-period instrumental writing and form an important part of his orchestral output.
