Bach for Beginners by Boosey & Hawkes.. recordings??

[moysture]

Hello everyone I have recently picked up Bach for Beginners by Boosey Hawkes. I am teaching myself the book but I have a big problem with learning a song without know what it supposed to sound like or watching someone else play it first. Does anyone know where I could find recordings of this book? A problem with it is that the songs are just titled "Minuet" or "Chorale" so I don't know what specific Minuet to search for.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, I really want to dive head on into this book.

Hello,

Glad to know that you really want to play Bach! I looked for the book on the internet, but I realised that there are 2 volumes of "Bach for Beginners". Could you tell me which one you've bought? Then maybe I could help you! 
Also, I might understand which minuet and chorale you mean, if you tell me in which scale they are written. But, I think that it is a bit too early for you to know about musical scales, if you're a beginner. 
Nevertheless, you could say how the pieces start and end!

These are some pieces that you possibly mean:

Minuet in G Minor BWV115

Minuet in G Major BWV114

Minuet (Danse) in G Major BWV116

(You can search for other performances of these pieces on youtube. Type the names that I wrote above the videos.)

However, if I haven't been helpful, then tell me which the start and the end of the piece is.

Keep on practicing,
Evitaevita

Thanks so much for the response! Sorry forgot to leave out that I have book 1 of the series. I have found the first minuet it is this one

But I am still having trouble finding the first chorale in the book. It is in the key of C. Here is a link to a picture I took of the piece.

If you enter the first few words of the song text into youtube, you'll get the chorale.

It's BWV 514, Schaff's mit mir, Gott.
