"Das alte Jahr vergangen ist", BWV 614 (in French "The old year is gone") is a chorale with Johann Sebastian Bach, for two keyboards and pedals, from Orgelbüchlein (the "Little organ book"). The song, exposed in soprano on the right hand, develops from the beginning in a succession of very provided ornaments (trembling, pinched, ...). The internal parts, although less rich than the soprano, are still quite supplied and present a very large number of alterations, which give the piece complex harmonies. The chorale ends with a mid-major accord. Discographyedit code Bibliography edit code
