Brandenburg Concerto No. 3

[Michael McBroom]

And now for something really different . . .

The following is an arrangement of mine of JS Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 (BWV 1048), done entirely within Sonar Platinum, just prior to my switching over to CWbBL.

These are so great.  Never get tired of them.  You did an admirable job of assemblage.

Loved it.

Wow, great job! The vibes sound great on this, excellent choice. 

[Michael McBroom]

Thanks, guys! For you Bach fans, I have a couple more transcriptions I can post soon.

Didn't Jack Bruce say that Bach was the ultimate bass player?
I think he did, so how's about an EB1 (that's the violin shaped one) into a wildly overdriven Marshall Super Bass for the Contrabass?

I'm kidding, I kid (mybad, I'm sorry, sometimes I can't help myself).

All kidding aside, very nicely done; please do share some more!

this bad boy does go on for awhile...

Heh, I'm not familiar with that quote, but I wouldn't disagree. Bach certainly has the kontrabass working out in Brandenburg No. 3.

Dunno if I'd want to give JB's bass much of a whirl with Bach, though. I always thought his live performances with that EB-0 through Marshalls sounded like it was farting.

Super, ya? Of course Walter/Wendy leap to mind. Your version has those super clear vibraphone leads. I bet you had to play with the midi volumes a ton. Well done!

cheers,

There you go!

The variety of music on this song forum is amazing.

Thanks for that, I am listening closely so I can pick up some ideas for using the tools I have.

[Wookiee]

Nice I like this variation. 

[Larry Graham Alexander]

Very good job, Michael.  My kind of music.  Thanks for sharing .

Best Regards,

Thanks again, everyone. It's gratifying to read that my choice of instruments for this piece meets with approval. And, yes, Tom, I had to massage the volume for each track a lot. It was one of the bigger challenges of getting it sounding right to my ear. And of course, a doff of the cap to Walter/Wendy Carlos, who were the original inspiration for my attempt at this.
