Trio on Ich steh' and Hey Jude [organ]

this trio, for organ (two manuals and pedals) or for instrumental trio (any three suitable instruments, e.g. violin-viola-cello, or oboe-clarinet-bassoon) uses the Sinfonia of the Cantata Ich steh' mit einem Fuß im Grabe by J S Bach (BWV 156) (which also appears as the second movement of his Concerto BWV 1056), and Hey Jude (1968) by Paul McCartney and John Lennon, taking the listener on a journey, as they say, "from Bach to the Beatles" 

this is one of a number of Beatles-based pieces by Paul Ayres - see "related works" link below
