Johann Sebastian Bach’s Suite No. 3 in D, from a set of four such suites, was recreated from a set of autographed parts dating from around the 1730s as no score survived. The music is believed to date from some years prior to that and is possibly derived from an even earlier work. 

 

The Air, sometimes referred to as the Air on a G String is perhaps the most famous movement from all the Suites and it has been arranged as a tenor horn feature, although there is no part for cornets, bass trombone, euphoniums or percussion in this transcription.
