The Winter Season
For today's "full work" I was going to share Vivaldi's "Winter" from the set of violin concerti that go by the title "The Four Seasons". Then I changed my mind and decided to give you all four! 😁
More Bach
Having started Christmas Day with the opening chorus of Bach's Weihnachts Oratorium, "Jauchzet, frohlocket!" I was going to bookend it with the final chorus today - but having searched for a suitable video I decided that you should have a bigger slice of Bach.
Welcome Christmas Day
and after the proclamation from John Tavener what better than Bach to welcome the day.

I've been neglecting the horn players recently 😃

This was originally composed as a choral piece. The text is taken from the Psalms

There are many examples of "new versions" of music - some simply change the instrumentation; or take a vocal piece and make it instrumental; or change the style; and many other types of change. My next few videos can perhaps be best summed up as "not the original".
