The fourth of Bachs orchestral suites, also in the key of D major, is scored for three trumpets and timpani, three oboes, bassoon, strings and continuo. After the compound rhythm of the fugal section of the Ouverture and a return to the slower music of the opening comes a pair of Bourrées, played in alternation, a Gavotte, and a pair of Menuets, with the second played by strings and continuo alone. The Suite ends with a cheerful movement bearing the title Réjouissance, which proclaims both its character and the French provenance of the whole form, adopted and translated by Bach into suitable German musical terms.

Capella Istropolitana
Conducted by Jaroslav Dvorak
