These arrangements are for performance and are very precise. Guitar quartets are enormous fun especially as there is so little ensemble music for guitar that is easy to play but also rewarding to listen to. The technical level of each guitar part is not challenging so on a good day you could get something worth listening to in an hour.
"In dulci jubilo" (Latin for "In sweet rejoicing") is a traditional Christmas Carol. Johann Sebastian Bach set this melody several times: as a chorale in BWV 368; and then for organ in BWV 608 as a double canon in his Orgelbüchlein and in BWV 729 as a chorale prelude. Clearly he was fond of the tune and who can blame him. This arrangement of BWW 608 follows almost exactly the four original voices from the canon. It is not difficult to play technically but the rhythm is challenging as you have sections of 9 against 6. Bach’s original time signature was 3/2 with the counter rhythm in 6/4, I changed this to 9/8 making the triplets easier to read but leaving an anomaly of a dotted quaver for the sections in 6. This is really a question of feel rather than counting so don’t let it throw you. I have also arranged BWV 368 which is simpler to play.
