Couldn’t have a week of Bach arrangements without Jacques Loussier.
Year: 2020
More Bach and Brass
As usual something ‘easy’ for Friday – a very well known piece of Bach from a great CD from Empire Brass
Now Bach Rocks
More Bach – another arrangement – this time one that a lot more people will know (unlike the previous ones).
More Of The Same – Or At Least Similar
Anton Webern was born in Vienna just a few years after yesterday’s composer and in the same Glasgow University orchestra concert we played a Bach arrangement by him.
Different Bach
On Sunday I shared the Canadian Brass playing an ‘unusual’ arrangement of Bach. I thought that I could follow that up with some other arrangements since Bach has, perhaps, had his music arranged by more than most – and in many different styles.
Not The Enigma This Time
What is the first piece of music that you think of when the name Edward Elgar is mentioned? Land of Hope and Glory? Nimrod? Perhaps the rest of the Enigma Variations?
Bach And Brass On Sunday
My Sunday choice is from an album that I have already shared a track a while back. Sometimes I like rearrangements – others don’t work so well.
More Summer
Continuing the meteorological theme here is a composer who hasn’t previously featured in my posts – Frederick Delius. There are many of his works that I enjoy but my first real knowledge of the man and his music was when I saw Ken Russell’s documentary “Song of Summer” so the piece by that name fits the bill well.
Storms Have Passed
Some piano music tonight from Debussy – nice and gentle for a Friday evening.
Storm At Sea
With more storms on the way – supposedly – here is another piece of stormy music. I really enjoy the sea interludes and they work really well with the big forces deployed in this video.
