As usual – something gentle for Friday.
Silence Disturbed
I’ve no idea how I originally came across this recording, but it was immediately saved in my YouTube list. It is a great example of something that I “stumbled upon” and really liked.
Man Of The Match – The Tambourine Player
Most cover versions of songs are done to “update” the experience – this group do the opposite.
An Old Favourite – A New Take On It
I am well aware that even though I am familiar with lots of music there is even more that I do not know. I am also aware that with music (as with many aspects of our lives) we all tend to stuck to the familiar without allowing sufficient opportunity to find new things. Its been nice to get some feedback on my posts to the effect that what I have shared was new to someone.
Mountainous Music
Many of the links I have included have been to music that I have played, but there is far more music that I have encountered “by accident” so to speak – although I guess that since I have rarely been in the position of choosing the repertoire that I played even those were accidental encounters.
A New Take On An Old Hymn
A familiar hymn today – maybe an unfamiliar arrangement
Finally It Is Jazz Bach
Couldn’t have a week of Bach arrangements without Jacques Loussier.
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.
