Abstract

This project contains a transcription of J. S. Bachs Fantasia in G Major, BWV 572 for wind band. The dissertation project includes documentation regarding the transcription process, as well as historical background and references for Bach and his organs, a brief primer on organ mechanics, a review of two previous, partial transcriptions of the original work, and a discussion on organ technique and its relationship with the wind band. Analyses of the previous transcriptions, along with the original work, are presented to both contextualize the transcription process and differentiate the resulting musical work.
