Aria, “Deposuit potentes” from Magnificat, BWV 243, transposed to f

from: J.S. Bach - Miscellaneous Vocal Works

Eighth number in the Magnificat. Originally in f# minor, transposed here to f. The title means, "He has put down the mighty, and he has exalted the humble." See also the version in d minor, which in all candor is a good deal more idiomatic. The present version is included as an etude for a key which of course does occur in the classical recorder repertoire, though rarely. Revised 5.13.18.

Keyboard parts include separate recorder parts at no additional cost.
