Forums → Popular Media → Certain Cello Piece I Search For

Hullo, all. There is a cello piece I'm trying to find, it's played going up and down in the scales, you can hear it in Master and Commander when they were sailing around the Galapagos. Anyone musically wise care to point it out to me?

Is this the one?

Yaar! That's the one! Thanks very much.

Do you know what it's called? Itunes unhelpfully just says "ref"

It's the "Unaccompanied Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major, BWV 1007: Prélude", composed by Bach, played by Yo-Yo Ma.

Excellent. Thank you for both your help.

Ach! Curse my poor grammar! Thank you both for your help. There, now that's better.
