I am age 70, afflicted with arthritus. (And poor spelling:). But sometimes I wish I could learn all those old time dances just to dance around to the music in the privacy of my home. So cheerful and bouncy, this music. Happy Birthday, Bach!
Bach's continuo writing is amazing. For many other composers, the continuo is really just simple fill. With Bach, it's often the best part of the whole piece!
Must have been a nightmare for the bassoonist to practice the first movement! Bach wrote highly virtuous pieces for wind instruments. The trumpet in Brandenburg No.2 also comes to mind. Wonderful work as usual, Geru.
This music proves the fact that, apparently, Bach wrote all his music to the Grace of God. I've always been stuck when occasionally someone says, 'Do you prefer Bach/Mozart? I'm always stumped for an honest reply. Mozart is sublime, granted, but this is something else.. Would hate to have to choose.....
has anyone else heard of VeggieTales? then you might've seen the rare promo called "Take 38" it has this music at the end half. although I highly doubt that anyone else besides me came here from that
There's not enough nick naming in Bach. If there is a pastoral symphony, a trout quartet, and a Jupiter symphony, this should be called the William the Conquerer overture
At many points in the piece (at least the overture) can I hear a harpsichord but do not see the harpsichord part. I do not know the piece very well so correct me if I'm wrong but I would like to see the harpsichord part as well. If I'm wrong just ignore me but if there are parts missing, seeing harpsichord would be great. Thank you.
@@Ennah08 thank you very much. I completely missed the basso continuous markings as I was focusing on the woodwinds, so I think that answers my question.
Jamie B I was curious myself ... I think I found the harpsichord/cembalo part, but it still looks like it's only the left hand ... you probably have to make up the right hand yourself. 'Basso continuo' is a mystery to me! bit.ly/2OYm1NQ
Harpsichord's part (continuo) is not written out usually, its left hand (bass clef) part plays what the cellos play and right hand (treble clef) part is mostly improvised chords.
This suite has probably been composer around 1725 (during his last years in kothen or his First years in leipzig)so we are probably listening to Bach when he was in his first 40s
It's only slightly too quick. It needs to be fast enough to hear and process each phrase, but slow enough to have weight and sound majestic. This version is much better than Richter.
I like the tempo of the fugue but the slow parts I would prefer to be slower. Especially the last part after the fugue ends. I mean the man puts a half note lowest c possible in the orchestra, give it some space to resonate and fill the room!

Hi! Me too...

I listen mostly to the bass line.

Orchestral fugue starts at 2:01.

A great way to celebrate a Genius's life.
And, I must say that Gavotte 1 & 2 are some of my fave bits of fave bits of Bach. Can listen on repeat multiple times. It NEVER gets 'old'.
When I pause all the music my eyes makes all the music look like it's endlessly moving to the right without showing any new music 0.0
I love the passepied. The music swirls like leaves in a brisk autumn breeze.
It's great to have the woodwinds and strings in parallel like this! Thanks for that clever presentation

This really helps with my sight reading. 3/2 time... I'm gonna need to get used to that. Thanks gerubach!

No words to describe the beauty of this masterpiece 🙏
The gavotte (3rd part) is heavenly. My favourite.

P1B1U1H1 The overture surely does sound posh.
Halley's Courante
So intense, I like it!
Magnificent
¡¡Thank you very much for sharing!!
Happy Bach's birthday everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!
Somebody wanna sing "happy new year" at the ending of Passepied?

There is this thing called 'Basso continuo' in baroque music (and earlier) ... could be the answer to your question!

Bach music is so cute awe 😊
0:20 lmao me
This sounds like young Bach but I don't really know if that is so.

@@niccolomantovani6388 Thanks for your input. Superb music, however one defines ir!
Could someone enlighten me about Forlane/Furlana?
what can I say !!!??
The tempo of courante is alla breve
How? It's 3/2 plus this is measure or time signature not tempo. Tempo is typically adagio or slower.
The music becomes
Sometimes weak
If confronted with
Bach anyway your
Talent Is astonishing
Do you Like this?
Johann Sebastian Bach Ja
Yes
16:56
It's too quick.The Ouverture must be played more mayestic.It make me think the musicians must soon go to the toilet.
You should check out Karl Richter's version of this Orchestral Suite No 1. :D
