Komm, süßer Tod Komm, süßer Tod (Come Sweet Death) BWV 478, by J. S. Bach is a song for voice and continuo from a collection of Sacred Songs and Arias that Bach contributed to in 1736. Bach by means of melody and harmony, expresses the desire for death and heaven. It is among his most popular works (Wikipedia). Jim Tempest has adapted and transformed it into a stunning setting for 10-part Brass Ensemble. The sheer weight and richness of sound is breathtaking in its beauty. This 3.5-minute arrangement is appropriate for advanced intermediate performers and beyond.
