Goehr describes his approach to Bach’s chorale Durch Adams Fall ist alles Verderbt in his new orchestra piece as follows: ’My own composition might be described as a kind of Chorale Prelude consisting of a number of settings of Bach’s complete bass-line falling from high up at the opening to extreme depths at the end, with juxtaposed sections based on a contrasting rising melody.’
