Harpsichord Music

[mrudoch]

nice job.

[shplizzle]

if it aint baroque dont fix it-- i rarely get to use that joke so thanks

[Mufflerb]

Very Haunting, sounds like in Mario when you would enter Bowser's castle. I love it!

[speedstick77]

Finally! Something truly new & refreshing. Thank you for sharing.

[eval6841]

really magic song!!!! It transfers you to a whole another place!!!! :)

[onlyraef]

Beautifull composition .. unique !!

[Maestro2296]

I'm usually a purist when it comes to baroque but hey! this is fun :-)

[ThisLittleElf]

reminds me of malice mizer ^_^

[retrocareermelted]

Baroque music is sick!

[bersa888]

There's not much true "baroque" or even baroque-like in this piece other than a little more than the instruments (which were also used circa 300 years ago)... It reminds me of some movie soundtrack from the '70's - which is just fine! :-)

[MeteoXavier]

Instruments were pretty cartoony, but you nailed the style and the arrangement is totally believable. Might work as a Castlevania or Suikoden track.

[conn6m]

That was brilliant! What program are you using to get such clear voicings.5*

[MaliceDren]

This really awesome stuff!

[thisisjust4us]

Happy New Year Scott; you are a very talented man. Why doesn't the entire world know you? You deserve much more publicity

Natasha is sending her love to you and we all wishing you a happy New year

[Alexknobsob]

Everything to make me realise windmills, the Georgians and Amsterdam were a big mistake.

[Twirretwarre]

Wow, I love the sunglasses of Bach, haha... kidding... This is a powerful piece, good to hear it. So now and than the notes laying "against" each other gives a great tension to be solved. Haha, me chatterboxie Dutchie! :-) Heard it twice, and love it!!!!

[BodineSpeaks]

Thanks, Coz-Girl! You're very kind!  8-)

[BodineSpeaks]

Hallo, Herr Frank. The Timpanist had got his lunch all over the heads of his Kettle Drums!

LOL & 8-)

[tyndarius]

harpsichord is my favorite. Very beautiful composition Bodine. All the instruments harmonized well together and the photo montage was very well timed and beautiful. Im favoriting this one!

[BodineSpeaks]

Thanks, tyndarius. I think Harpsichord is pretty cool myself. Glad you liked it! 8-)

[montaramike]

I love this! Great composition!

[BodineSpeaks]

Thank-you, montaramike! 8-)

[delbhoye]

A powdered wig and Ray-Bans is such a cool look. Johann SB must have been a Baroque chick-magnet! :oD 5 starz!

[BodineSpeaks]

Ha-ha, Derek! Bach may have been too busy to be a ''chick-magnet'' with all that music he created!

[ElemeFF]

You have an eclectic range of talent ... a master of them all!

Astonishingly beautiful ... do we hear the roar for more? Indeedy-doody!

[BodineSpeaks]

Thanks, Mick. There's so much variety in music, that one can never get bored exploring it.

[flophousepoodle]

Play that scandalous music.

[BodineSpeaks]

Yes, ma'am... for you... anything! I love your Marie Antoinette pics. You rule! 8-)

[EdMuirton]

It runs fine on my end. Great stuff Scott! Superb playing! Different again! Cheers mate!

[BodineSpeaks]

Thanks, Ed. Gotta keep things rollin', mate!

[useryug]

Prolific, my man.

A baroque Monday morning here in blighty.

I'm now baroqueing up to the post office to send an ebay violin up to Leicestershire... toot toot!

Reckon your timpanist must be quite comfortable now what with all the work he's been getting... betcha he's a relative...!

5*, sweet bodine.

B:-)

PS. vid's runnin smooth here

[BodineSpeaks]

Hello, Sir Barry. You sold one of your Violins?

[useryug]

Yep - I'm down to just seven now.

The one I sold is one

[BodineSpeaks]

SEVEN!!! Blimey mate! If you grew 12 more arms you'd be your own String Section! 8-)

[useryug]

an electric I bought new a few months ago, and didn't suit my taste.

[BodineSpeaks]

I need to buy a new Violin. Mine is shot. I miss playing it. I have a Viola, but I like playing the Violin better, though I love the depth of the Viola. I shouldn't have bought such a huge Viola, but a smaller sized one.

[useryug]

Full size.

4/4size, 3/4, etc. sure full size is best.

Wouldn't have thought it would be good to take up 3/4 size, except, of course, in the case of the double bass., which is the norm amongst them rockin an rollin' an jazz types.

Then again, as I don't have a viola, I guess I ain't qualified to comment... 3/4 size is for kids aint it?

[BodineSpeaks]

The Violins go by that size description. The Violas go by an inch measurement. I think I have a 19 inch. I should've bought a 17 inch. It's harder to find strings for a 19 inch Viola, too. Ah, what did I know? I figured the bigger size might give it a fuller sound. There's guys that play 21 inch Violas, some even larger, I think!

[useryug]

Wow geezer, this is stuff I didn't know.

I have a virtuoso violaiste 500 yards away, who I've sadly not seen in 13-14 years... His string section play on Portishead's 'Roads', incidentally... Seems the older I get, the less I know...

Hey, I have an 'Octave' electric violin by Bridge Instruments, that's huge fun - EAD and G an octave lower than a regular violin.. Defeats the laws of physics, but it sounds just teriffic.

[useryug]

When I typed that 1st comment, by fingers sort of slipped off the keyboard, then bam! dunno what I pressed, but the comment was posted.

Arrgghh! said I, and Yoiks!! and other such stuff,so this is a 3- part comment, or 4, in total.Seems quite articulate to me.

[jazzobassoon]

Professor Scott you have a lot of nice imagination bravo good job you can take place near Mozart

[BodineSpeaks]

Hello Pascal. I wish I had the sheer quantity and quality of Mozart! Alas... I'm just a Bodine.

LOL & 8-)

[Jazzguts]

It's running OK on my computer Scott, man Scott do you take time to eat and sleep you're really cranking them out now, you're spoiling the people too much with so much high quality Vids in such a short time, they don't have time wonder,What's he coming up with now? Because it's there already. Great piece of Music maestro,I can hear you've laid your ears in every corner of our Earthly Music Spectrum,LOL greets Vic.

[BodineSpeaks]

Hello Vic. Been taking a break from composing/video making tonight to catch up on some other things... like Responding to Comments! 8-)

[sonata1992]

Excellent work, Scott. *****

Unrelated: You're really cranking the vids out fast! They're all excellent, but I wonder if you're rushing. Just remember that we remember Bach, not Telemann :P

[DieselBodine]

Thanks, Alex. Does this video run smooth or does it seem to run jerky? I suppose cranking out the videos is no big deal. They'll always remember Bach, and Bodine will be forgotten.

LOL & 8-)

[sonata1992]

Not too jerky.

My comparison was not you to Bach but Bach to telemann. Telemann could crank out a motet in a day. Bach would work over them. Tortoise v. the hare. The B minor mass is the work of a lifetime.

I won't forget you :P Musicians like you are more inspiring to me to work on being one myself than Bach is. Like you implied, it's impossible to be Bach. He's a god, an unreal vision in the back of our minds. Watching your creations pop up every few days is something in itself for me :P

[DieselBodine]

Think of Mozart... At least 180 CDs of his different works are available for purchase as a collection. Imagine adding to that other pieces he may have wrote and threw away or somehow were lost. I know they found a new work by him, a few years ago in some library in Europe, that was previously unknown of.

[sonata1992]

Yeah. One of my favorite concertos is the D major for Violin and Piano that was started but never finished. The reconstruction by Robert Levin is one of my favorites.

They also found a scrap of a Credo for a mass a couple months ago. That was exciting. Can you imagine what he would've done if he'd lived to write it?

Damn you for bringing up Mozart when I'm trying to bring up your self-worth as a musician. I....heart...Mozart. Very, very much XD

[DieselBodine]

TO ANYONE WATCHING... Is this video running smooth? I may have to redo it and upload it again. It's running a little unsmooth on my computer.
