Song 139 (Johann Sebastian Bach--"Orchestral Suite No.3 in D-Major, "Air" BWV 1068")

This is another wonderful composition by the musical master J.S. Bach. Although mostly know for his organworks, this is one of his many pieces that utilizes strings. This is another one of his compositions that has been heard by many, but unknown to many in title; it's simply a marvelous piece music.
Part of the themes from this piece and Bach's BWV-645 Wachet auf ruft uns die Stimme were borrowed and used on Procol Harem's A Whiter Shade Of Pale on the organ.

Here is a string orchestral version on YouTube.
