The graphic representation of the music we are hearing is the greatest teaching aid I have seen in a long time! It gives a visual image of the music that shows every relationship of the individual voices within the totality of the music. Connecting the visual and the aural in this way will help develop the ability read music and to hear more clearly the musical structure under and around the obvious melodies. A tremendous boon especially to those who would pursue composition. Congratulations and much gratitude.
il est inégalé, car il allie complexité de l ecriture à une inventivité mélodique et une beauté céleste en une quantité gigantesque. Rien que ses sonates piano-violon/violoncelle dépassent celles des autres en beauté, créativité, et écriture.
Bach was said to have remarked that, although people called him a composer, the music he wrote was given to him by God. He just copied it down. (Salieri: As if he were taking dictation. "Amadeus")
What I love about the Brandenburg C's is how Bach seems to be trying to emulate a more "style gallant" type of music, but can't seem to resist bringing in a lot of late Baroque type harmony. It's like he has a style gallant angel on one shoulder, and a Baroque angel on the other shoulder, and both are pulling and pulling and pulling......lol
When I listen to the first I think its the loveliest of the 6. when I listen to the 2nd I think it is the loveliest, when i listen to the thirds I think its the loveliest...
Just discovered your work as I approach my 70th birthday. Hope I have enough time left to hear/watch all of it. Can't believe you have been at this so long, and I didn't notice. My excuse: I live in Louisiana. (Weak, I know.)
This wonderful musician gave such a big wonder to the world with his musique, that is very diffucult to describe with words. I love his musique so much.
I'm not overly aquainted with this genre being more into jazz,blues,folk etc. but I feel like I've always been drawn to certain composers and Bach certainly is right at the top of my list with a handful of others. I have a recording of the Brandenburg Concertos by this orchestra and again,although not well versed in this sound I found the production really stood out regarding the seperation of the instruments and overall warmth and clarity.Great with headphones!
Bach was a jazzy man. Bach is also at the top of my list and me myself am not overly aquainted with jazz an all that. But what I know for a fact that many jazzmusicians love Bach for his spontainous and improvisational style. Listen also to "Bach goes to town" by the Dutch Swing college band.
I love, love, love the animated classicals, but I believe that yours are the most interesting and unique. Thank you so much for your time and talent and for sharing them with the world.
on NHKworld they have a 5 minute show called, ''Blends'' where they take traditional Japanese musical instruments and perform western pop and classical music. if you could find one of those audio recordings and work your majik ....certainly a crowd pleaser.
I have an alto recorder and my orchestra teacher wants me to learn the parts for this so we can play it next year in our performance. Also he is impressed by your animations, i showed him your symphony no. 9 mvt. 4 video.
I get it. Some of Bach's pieces require some effort on behalf of the listener's, you can't grasp them all at once. In fact, that can be said of almost all of Bach's works. The flip side of this is, you can listen to them many, many times, and the pleasure you derive from this experience increases over time.
The beginning of the second movement as it is played here sounds so dark and epic. I recently bought Sir John Eliot Gardiner's recordings of the Brandenburg concertos because a little research led me to believe that his recordings are some of the world's favorites, but the beginning of the second movement on that recording was lighter and less convincing. The album taken as a whole is excellent of course, but that point was an imperfection for my taste.
Yellow - solo violin Green - first flute Blue - second flute Gold - first violins Orange - second violins Red - violas Magenta - cellos Purple - double bass Rhombus - harpsichord Is this correct?
G'day, pbrower2a! If the first thing you hear is the voices of many, many angels praising God, you'll know you're in the "Good Place". Are you ready and do you know how to get there?
This is a really interesting way to experience Brandenburg, It just seems to add a whole level of magic when (with the help of shapes and colours) all off the parts can be superimposed in a visual way and make some kind of sense. Keep up the great work! Let me know if you ever get around to doing Haydn's 95th!
Well, a lot of money --- I had to pay $535 to license this recording so that I could post it here legally. As for the time and effort, it took about normal amount of time for a piece of this length. I'm getting incrementally better at what I'm doing, and a lot of my effort is cumulative. For example, some of the shapes I used in this video were developed for the Rite of Spring visualization; using them in this one didn't take any extra work.
Good question. I don't know. I'm not as fond of it as others (4, 6), so I'm more likely to complete/rework those. If Rinaldo Alessandrini let me use his recordings of other ones, though, that would make a difference. Maybe you should work on him ...
Brilliant, lovely work on the graphics. The last movement possesses the most wonderful structure, Bach must have loved writing that. Yes, I too prefer the higher frequency of G major, although some say it shouldn't make any difference because pitch is relative to itself, but there is still the issue of where A sits and I find 392 too low.
Ist ein Wunderwerk; fast unerglaublich es ist, solche vorhabene, schoene Musik! Bach ist ein Heiliger geworden- von Eunomia. Einer die Edele und Grosse Seelen auch; Illuminierte Meister... Was ein wahrer Heiliger hat fuer Menschlichkeit, fantastisch gut sehr oft!
Love this, especially the first movement.... The recorders give it a nice energy flitting from top to bottom, and it obviously was meant by Bach to be performed as such; however, I wonder if someone has performed it as a more as a violin concerto or fully string? I'd like to hear someone try this.
@@smalin No, I'm referring to your other YT offerings, i.e., videos. I'll check them out when I have time. Sorry for the confusion; great website; love the format. (Having a tough time with writing in English -- my native language.)
One can hope. I typically make about a dollar for 1000 views, so half a million views (total for the three movements) is about where the break-even point would be. We'll see.

I'm glad you enjoy this piece. It is indeed most exhilarating, in particular the final fugue (OK I know it isn't exactly a fugue stricto sensu, but it is inhabited by the Spirit of The Fugue). Out of sheer curiosity, what are the Bach pieces you find hard to listen to?

You can never have too much Bach.
I wish every teacher could present this to the kids. Instant appreciation of music.
Bach is just amazing. I can never imagine how he could do this. Unsurpassed in my opinion.

@@Philobach Je ne parle pas Francais...
J S Bach had to have plagiarized this work -- after an unexplained trip to Heaven. It is that great!
Actually, it goes the other way around. In heaven, they're doing Bach covers.
Bach was said to have remarked that, although people called him a composer, the music he wrote was given to him by God. He just copied it down. (Salieri: As if he were taking dictation. "Amadeus")
1:26 I can literally feel Bachs joy when he composed this
To me it seems like an extremely tragic piece, except the middle movement which seems to me like a light drunken dance movement

Love the recorder. Has a mellow sound and an unusual sound.
these visualizationsa re hypnotic
I would not give away the ability to enjoy Bach for 100 Million
the Neapolitan at 2:28 is exquisite
This is one of my #1 favorite prices by bach
One of the best of the Baroque period.
This is perfect to start my morning...sounds like God singing the morning for me...
The end of the first movement with the sustained violin notes is very satisfying.
So instructive, and mesmerizing in a way. Thanks smalin

Bach could improvise a six voice fugue at the organ. Think about that level of talent.

“Hey Kids!”
Ok boomer😂
I love bach and this concerto but the sad thing the song lost its meaning
Just because some guys in the Internet associate this piece with some TH-camr, doesn’t mean that this piece lost any “meaning”
Wait this is my new comment after i understood what "Boomer" Means, So i'm srry, i was a stupid XD
@@Sheyth_Rise You give music meaning, it doesent have it on its own so it cant be lost, only change
It's so cool in the last part when Bach finally gets six voices going simultaneously - least to me!
Gorgeous

Yellow - solo violin
Green - first flute
Blue - second flute
Gold - first violins
Orange - second violins
Red - violas
Magenta - cellos
Purple - double bass
Rhombus - harpsichord
Is this correct?
Those are recorders, not flutes, but apart from that, you should be correct
@@felix_bg6693 What's the difference?
Excelente versión de la interpretación de Huxley en "La isla". Enhorabuena!!

Many thanks. 👍 🇺🇸 🇩🇪 🏴
Amazing
THe subject and countersubject sound, to me, very similar to the respective subjects in Canata 54.
11:12 the one in the history page
Now there's an idea. I wonder if there's a way that all the viewers of my videos could be induced to make a pledge like that.
When people say the recorder is a kid's instrument.

Thank u!!!
The lowest part (violet) is a contrabass.

I like the visuals - never having seen suchlike before. I would have chosen a different recording though eg trevor pinnoc
12:45 is that even possible
well yes because this is a real performance played by actual humans (read description)
The last movement kinda sounds like Vivaldi's Funeral Concerto (last movement)
it sounds so much different in F major
See "motion aftereffect" in Wikipedia.
OMG. If only Bach could see this....
he most probably is

Simplemente extraordinario, para mi Mozart era un músico fantástico pero lo que hacia Bach está muy por encima. Pero esto es solo mi opinión.
Une musique inécoutable, incessante pourtant signée par un génie.
