Yesterday’s post was of our band playing a brass arrangement of a vocal piece of music – something that is very common within Salvation Army music. Of course arrangements, or covers, or – as I have heard them called – recreations of pieces of music are ubiquitous throughout history. This week I will share some of those that I like – bearing in mind that for some nothing will ever surpass the original!!
Forgive me if you think that any of these ‘spoil’ a favourite of yours but hearing something in an unusual guise can often be good. I may be wrong, but I suspect that Bach must be amongst the most arranged composers – there are many wonderful versions.
The one that I have chosen actually comes from a concert that was filled with Bach music – in many (dis)guises.
