Hi, A....G

@rh2st, it's a sarabande by Bach (from Unaccompanied Cello Suite No. 3 in C major). In this presentation Yo-Yo Ma discussed the history of the piece: it passed from North Africa to Spain (where, incidentally, it was considered lascivious and banned), to France, where it transformed into a courtly dance, and then to Germany, where Bach included it in his Cello Suites. Through this process, the sarabande became no longer music owned by any nation, but rather music belonging to the world.
