Very nice! This arrangement and performance is great for teaching the passacaglia form. You dissected it nicely between the various instruments but I think it would sound better in a less acoustically "live" venue. I'd like to hear the same performance recorded in someone's living room.
Ms. Comparone I thank you for your talent and keeping this great instrument alive. This arrangement is delightful. I have to show this to my music history prof!
This is a really interesting and different interpretation! I like it ! Although I still feel the pedal harpsichord is the most suitable instrument for it :) Thanks for sharing, and great transcription Elaine !
Actually I believe Bach borrowed the first four bars of the Passacaglia "Bass-line" from Andre Raison, I have the piece buried under a ton of classical CD's. It's a very innocuous little piece, It's like turning a TV ditty into a masterpiece. if you wish to hear how's it' suppoosed to sound try typing it and listening to some of the better organ versions.
No. "Baroque" refers to the "Baroque era" (roughly 1600-1750) and the musical style associated with it. Composers Handel, Bach, and Vivaldi, were Baroque era composers.
I think a arrangement for carillon is more natural than this. But also nice. see: 3xw.youtube.com/watch?v=y_J_eC006QI

Baroque (French) from barocco (Italian) from Federigo Barocci (1528-1612), founder of the style.
Also < barroco (Portuguese), meaning irregular pearl.

Nope. This kind of descending bass line was common in the baroque.

I've been wanting to make a quartet version of this, but there are some variations that I have yet to convert effectively.
