I started collecting ‘classical literature for church
services use’* from the Baroque era – first, Bach. As he is an outrageously prolific composer,
I kept it simple for now and went with selections from his better-known
composition groups. All of these are pieces I found appealing and can work up
in a couple of days/weeks. The added bonus is a lot of this is transferable to the organ, also. Here's what I've picked so far:
Two part inventions – #s 1, 3, 4, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14
Three part inventions (aka Sinfonia) – #s 2, 3, 5, 8, 11, 12, 13,
14, 15
English Suites - No. 3 in g minor, BWV 808
French Suites - No. 4 in E flat major, BWV 815, No. 5 in G major BWV 816
Partitas – Partita in Bb Major, BWV 825
Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 1 - (tbd)
Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 2 - (tbd)
Plus
Fantasies - c minor, BWV 906 and g minor, BWV 917
*What else am I supposed to call it? ‘Real’ music?
