The `Air` by Johann Sebastian Bach at best can rival his setting `Jesus bleibet meine Freude` for popularity: The final chorus from the cantata BWV 147 `Heart and Mouth and Deed and Life` is really catchy due to its simplicity and perfection of which one can hardly get enough. The present arrangement makes this classical `hit` an ideal performance and concert piece for string trio.
