I create electronic arrangements of classical pieces for my own entertainment. In this (2021) lockdown, stay-at-home year, I picked up this old passion of mine. Back in the early 90s I had a Yamaha QY10, on which, laboriously, I transcribed Bach's Brandenburg Concertos.
What I found out in the last few weeks is that there are many tools and resources online, some of them free, others rather cheap, and you only need a laptop and an audio interface to do much more with a lot less effort. Maybe in the future I will share some of my experience in getting up to speed for others who share the same passion.
Note: My music is available in HD at 1drv.ms/f/s!AvOkSQl49ZPTgS4Xs6goQGtkXqW6 for anyone to use freely. Find the link to the music files in the Links section below.

G.F. Handel - Messiah (HWV 56) - "Amen" (Synthesized)
To close 2024 in the most glorious way, Handel's Messiah final chorus. This piece has one of the most compelling and intense A7 chords in all Baroque music (3:12). And the full bar of silence right before the resolution to D? That's a stunning way to say the words "The End".
So goodbye 2024, welcome 2025 and Happy New Year to all my subscribers :)

J.S. Bach - Toccata for Harpsichord in D minor - BWV 913 (Synthesized)
Переглядів 6969 годин тому
Bach's seven Toccatas for Harpsichord bear an early northern-German influence, with distinct contrasting sections and fugal passages ingrained into the rhapsodic material. The Toccata in D minor is composed of 5 movements: a Passaggio (the proper Toccata), then a short intermezzo (Adagio), a full 4 voice fugue, another intermezzo (adagissimo) and finally a second 4 voice fugue, with a theme der...
J.S. Bach - Violin Concerto in A minor, BWV 1041 - 3. Allegro Assai (Synthesized)
Переглядів 61714 днів тому
Continuing the series of the three Violin concertos, enjoy this magnificent Gigue, an A minor that is so jovial and light that it almost sounds like an A Major. I've been hesitant about the tempo to choose: classic interpretations vary extremely, from quite slow to impossibly fast. I decided to err on the fast side, this is a very animated piece after all.
J.S. Bach - Violin Concerto in E Major, BWV 1042 - 1. Allegro (Synthesized)
Переглядів 1,2 тис.21 день тому
The Violin Concerto in E is, together with its sibling in A minor and the double concerto in D minor, at the pinnacle of Bach's invention for the accompanied Baroque violin. It's mediated from the Italian (but I should say Venetian) model championed by Corelli and popularized by Vivaldi. These three violin concertos form almost an extension of the Brandenburg series, not only because they were ...

J.S. Bach - Prelude & Fugue in Eb, BWV 552 "St. Anne" - Fugue (Synthesized)
Переглядів 1,3 тис.Місяць тому
As in the Prelude (ua-cam.com/video/D3TPRNTi3YI/v-deo.html), the St. Anne Fugue also brings forth three themes, one for each part of the fugue, to symbolise Trinity. But it's a triple fugue with a fourth theme slipped in: the second theme also appears motu contrario. In the second and third section, the first theme appears unexpectedly, although with a different rhythm. I've highlighted in diff...

This was the first piece I tried to arrange, back in 1990. I had a little portable sequencer with GM sounds (the QY10), eight tracks, and a lot of enthusiasm. I had an absolute banger of a ball, and thus my passion started. Of course when I launched this UA-cam channel and returned to my love for dissecting Baroque works, this movement was high in my list, so I tried again: ua-cam.com/video/Drb...
J.S. Bach - Brandenburg No. 4 in G, BWV 1049 - Presto - Viola Part (Synthesized)
Переглядів 827Місяць тому
Violas have an important function in the orchestra. They provide an essential ripieno that makes everything else make sense, and brings the ensemble together. They often play key notes in a chord, like the 3rd (which establishes tonality) or the 7th, while lead instruments and the bass are most concerned with the tonic or the 5th. Yet sometimes it is very difficult to discern the sound of the v...

I find that slower tempos are much harder to tackle than fast tempos. But I really want to finish up the Brandenburg collection, so I put myself hard at work to complete this one. Enjoy one of the last remaining missing pieces :)
J.S. Bach - Violin Partita No. 3 in E Major, BWV 1006: Prelude (Synthesized)
Переглядів 9712 місяці тому
If one excludes the beginning and the end, this incredible, INCREDIBLE composition, consists of about 130 bars of semiquavers (sixteenth notes), in one continuous monophonic garland that travels up and down and left and right through the violin fingerboard. Bach does it twice, this trick of using one melodic line, virtually without rhythm variations: once here, and the other one in another prel...
Work in Progress: Bach/Busoni, Ciaccona BWV 1004 - Part I - RFC
Переглядів 8342 місяці тому
I am still working on this one, it's challenging, and it's long. However I decided I would post my effort so far, so that if you happen to listen to it, and note a particular variation that you like, or dislike, you could perhaps help me to decide what works and what does not, hence the "Request For Comments" title. This is about half of the Ciaccona, variations 1 to 34 of 65. The number of the...

Forgive me for yet another half-baked video, but this is such a long and difficult piece, that although I am pouring hours upon hours on it, it seems I am making very little progress. If you can read music, I hope you will enjoy this video and the transcription nonetheless. If you are an amateur, the final version is getting nearer, and I promise it's not that far away, so bear with me. The tru...

I cannot resist to share another part of the Ciaccona, this one comprising repetitions No. 40 to 53. As for the previous, the sound is temporary. For now, I am entirely focused on getting the tempo right. Even with this basic sound, the power of this music is incredible, would you agree?
