Actually, it's in D minor, but with a baroque tuning that's about half a step down from the tuning that we use today. So, it's closer to Db minor by today's ears. But in no sense is it in Ab minor. I'm not sure where you got that. It does modulate to A minor (closer to Ab minor by your ears) briefly, but that's not the key of the piece.
I saw Trevor Pinnock two days ago conducting Handel's Messiah and playing the Harpsichord. And I am going to see him again this Sunday playing the Harpsichord. F**** Yea ! I've been a big fan of him since discovering these records by the English Concert. And that was thanks to your posts.
I could not live without bach's music. If you think J.S. Bach is good, check out his sons music. Type in C.P.E Bach H 420 in the search bar. Listen to Bach's sons harpsichord concerto.
@TheRunikko Sounds the same, at least, but there is an important difference between sounding like the same note and being the same. And 415Hz is most often where the A uses to be :P (but the Hz varies from performer to performer, some want it even lower.)
i think bach might have wrote a lot of music while drinking. the emotions are so different that it takes a drunk person to understand the feeling. drinking does enhance this
@hijacker050 The sheer intelligence of this comment simply blows me away. Sir, you are among the greatest minds in the universe, to have come up with such a sophisticated and complex argument against this music, you are simply genius. The way you have typed just a single word as a response to a 7 and a half minute movement shows such creativity and emotional passion that I simply cannot reply any any intelligent manner. Bravo.
I like some Dubstep also & Classical as well. People like what they like, no point to look for reasons or think you are crazy. I can listen to Venom then a church choir immediately after. So if you are crazy I should be in a padded room locked up somewhere.
If it makes you feel better, I read a lot about psychology and many experts say that truly crazy people dont know it or think they aren't. Questioning it shows traces of sanity and logic. Good day
@Exascale Lol I like Brutal Death Metal, Dubstep, Dark Psytrance, Baroque, Jazz Fusion, Ambient Psy, Death Rap. Its all art man, anyone who judges misses out, but then some mediocre stuff really isn't worth the listen to expand the ear/musical knowledge. But for some reason lately I come bach to Bach and I get reminded who is the real hierarchy. ~_~
If you ever listen to some songs on Youtube from the better technical death metal bands where someone does an orchestral version it sounds a lot like this.
4:10 is total shred. I have wondered several times if legendary composers like Bach or Vivaldi were given modern instruments what they could do. Then it would be neat to compare it to whats made currently in music.
I'd like to hear their opinions on various music from different eras as well.
@1killer146 LOL!!!! It is a good thing I wasn't drinking anything at my computer table because it'd come out of my nose, hahaha. Chuck vs Bach, now ladies and gentlemen, that's a dilemma if I've ever seen any!!!
@1killer146 It's not a song. It's a concerto. Song is a distinct a musical piece, not an umbrella term for every musical piece. If you wish for an umbrella term, then use "piece" or "work".
@MrDarkBoy93 It seems that in America the word "song" is used in that way. For me coming from England the word "song" refers to something which is sung, by a human or by an animal, and does not include instrumental music.
Hey can someone answer my question? I'm trying to learn this song by ear, and as i'm starting to play it, i'm realizing its in the key of C# minor not D minor, i don't know maybe thats just the intro and the rest of the song is in D minor. is this video off a half step or is the song really in C# minor?
@StealthcrewJO They are probably tuned in a= 415 hz, or somewhere around there, which is the "modern" historical baroque tuning. So if you feel that they are off a half step, they might be if you are trying to play this in a=440 hz.
This music is void of any sociopolitical rhetoric, it is void of racism. The only thing that it truly is...is beautiful!! These composers had many obstacles in their lives, but were blessed with a very high intelligence and a talent that can't be matched. Many of these composers invented the instruments that this music was played on. I think we owe them a gratitude!
This is one of the best pieces ever. Bach and Mozart are know for their more standard variations but these type of pieces are where the real genius and passion come out.
@RobzXD Not sure about Bach, but Handels sarabande is one of my personal favorites along with the queen of Sheba; I would suggest you listen to a few of his works.
Thank you for introducing me to these Bach Solo Concertos by the English Concert. They are the best I have heard. I think it is my favourite Bach Concerto Orchestra. I never heard this concerto conducted and played this beautifully before. It is so uplifting, lively, and brilliant. I ordered the 5 CD box today ... Listened to this literally a thousand times and I am still waiting on fire for the CD's to arrive.....
Man do I fucking love Bach. I wish I could go back in time and just talk to him. I wonder if he knew how much his music would impact the world. I mean, I know he didn't because back then people honestly didn't care for him or his work but he continued. God damn...
Calling somebody an idiot for their taste in music is ridiculous. I love Bach; his music was is complex and fast-paced, but still artful and precise. However, the insults you threw at the musicians of today were completely uncalled for. Did Bach have more 'talent'? In more than 99% of cases, yes; his music is far too intricate for anybody less musically gifted to even dream of creating. But he wrote for a specific type of listener, and plenty of people much prefer other genres.
Fuck. Why does Bach have to be associated with uptight assholes and snobbery. I like Bach, and all its interpretations. Its "gangster" in the sense that its bad ass. Stop with the pretentiousness. I was just listening to Slayer, now Bach. Its good music, piss off with the superiority complex.
Well i have to say that they (although its an arrogant point) the do have one. If bach where born in our day and age, if he studied "gangster" music for a week he probably would be able to recreate those beats. While the other way around would'nt happen in a million years. My point is that the level which he achieved will probably never be recreated again, cause anybody who's born today will have all his time sucked away by the thing i'm staring at.

In point of fact this music and instrumentation is far, far superior to "gangster" culture.
We live in a world of automated sound bytes that represent the so called "gangster" culture. I do not see the connection between superior European music and degenerate "gangster" music/culture.
@TheWNMan Thank you, I couldn't have said it better myself. Compare anything Bach ever wrote to the simple, repetitive, talentless and ridiculous primitive mumblings of a bunch of idiots who glorify the lowest trash of society is certainly a big insult to art and intelligence.
Let Bach be Bach and other music be other music. A less elitist stance would imho be also more helpful to not let fall Bach's music into oblivion of mass culture.
@SoliDeoGloria8550 I appreciate some pieces of modern music, not all, however, I respect people who enjoy that music as they respect my preference on classical european music. Some modern music, simply I can not understand it, I enjoy more folk european, ethnic african or american, classical indian, arabic, persian, ancient european or chinese music(I like a wide range of music of the world) than most of metal, I don't know how some modern music is called music but, anymay...
@SoliDeoGloria8550 Opinions, this puts some people to sleep. Though, I am more fond of classical music than I am fond of "automated sound bytes". However, I still see the artistic values in some rappers though.
@SoliDeoGloria8550 They don't see it as an art. Not really, at least. They like the simple beats and they like dancing. It's the adrenaline they like, not the music. Generally. And the adrenaline is linked with the music, so they listen to it regularly.
I do hate mainstream, however. But I still feel like Bach went a little overboard with his compositions via counterpoint. That's just my taste in music, though.
@SoliDeoGloria8550 @TheWNMan I'm sorry but you can find good music in every genre, its very ignorant to throw all rap in one area and say its all horrible. I love so many composers like bach, but if you just listen to one kind of music, your missing out of life. One music may be "more musically talented" but lyrically other songs are just a phenomenal. In all genres, there are genius in music. rap, metal, classical, contemporary, rock, blues. Don't be ignorant. Maybe give things a chance...
@StealthcrewJO wrote: "I'm sorry but you can find good music in every genre, its very ignorant to throw all rap in one area and say its all horrible."
Folks, this is the typical war-cry of a left wing liberal whose philosophy of Boasian (and FALSE) "cultural relativism" endorses his totalitarian view of a multicultural dystopia. A place where even a person vomiting in public would be considered a "musician."
@StealthcrewJO You never heard brazilian funk. How can u say that there is any beauty or content in all that vulgarity, ugliness and musical poverty that itself represents? And this is ONE in a bunch of exemples of noise genders that some call music. Definition of Music: Art and Science of combining the sounds in manner they are pleaseble to the ear. Ignorance is not accepting or accepting any matter with futility. I understand what u ment, but "give things a chance" in music is a wide subjetc.
@StealthcrewJO wrote: "One music may be "more musically talented" but lyrically other songs are just a phenomenal."
The war cry of the egalitarian left winger who seeks to level all humanity into one ugly assed color/intellectual malaise. Keep dreaming... The far right is on the verge of taking back what is rightfully theirs.
And I will point out your obvious MISuse of the word ignorant ; in this case, it is YOU who are ignorant, since you are regurgitating what you are told to regurgitate.
@SoliDeoGloria8550 Dude, chill, I'm a classically trained cellist, I listen to Bach on a daily basis. I was simply making a joke! But in all seriousness, he was the one true master of point-counterpoint, among other things.
@SoliDeoGloria8550 Do you know anything about Bach and the Baroque period of music? Listen you may not like anything you hear from Hip-Hop or rap but how can it be an "insult to art and intelligence"
Art: Works produced by such skill and imagination.
Intelligence: Intelligence has been defined in different ways, including the abilities for abstract though
I think your so called "gangsta rap" encompasses both.
Bach was revolutionary, he changed things, encouraged polyphony, and sounded different
See maybe you have a point, maybe the kids who grew up in the early eighties and late seventies didn't know how to play instruments. Maybe they didn't know about Bach, maybe there just products of their environment. Listen, these kids, who play this so called "gangsta rap", come from humble origins, where school programs like music and art were cut. For them to come out and did what they did having nothing... Well damn that's fucking art if I've ever heard/seen it! Graffiti, Dance, DJ, MC- ART
It is because of redundant elitist peoples of your nature that there is a separation between the supposed enriched "high cultural groups" and the ghastly uneducated "low cultural groups" (people to whom you refer to as barbaric). I would also point out that Bach created amazing concertos and compositions and that his music did influence the very people whose automated sound bytes are "topping the charts". I am truly sorry to say that your level of intellectualism is disappointing.
@TheWNMan You don't see the connection because you don't know very much about music. As Dvorak himself predicted, America only found its own sound by borrowing from African music, and that's where we get modern Rock and Roll and rap (which is more of a poetic form).
You think that your disdain for that which you don't understand makes you elite and cultured and some kind of well-justified snob. It doesn't. It makes you an uncultured dullard.
@GilbertSmith Even as a person who enjoys some hip hop, I state for a fact that most rap is simplistic and abhorrent. This is undeniable. It's inauthentic garbage written by old white dudes and probably the CIA, and has hijacked African American identity and solidarity by preaching a cult of materialism and subservience. In any case, for all of the presumed relativity of taste and aesthetics, there is still much commonality in judgement of those of us who have a clue about music. Why is that? ;)

I'm sorry, but as much as I detest rap, I can't help but notice a slight tinge of euro-supremacy in your comment. There are arts outside of Europe that I find equally as beautiful as Baroque music such as Javanese gamelan or Indian Karnatic music.
Whoops! Never mind. I took a gander at your channel and it confirmed my suspicions. You are a neo-Nazi. I will now be terminating my conversation with you. Have a nice life.
@TheWNMan if this is in response to TheJstaten1, I think he is just saying that this is piece is bad ass.
You tread a fine line here between being a bigot and offering an honest, heartfelt commentary about the state of "music" today. I do agree that the mainstream, commercialized music that bombards our airwaves today is idiotic at best, but when you say "European" in such a context, it sounds highly arrogant and only serves to alienate other potential fans of the genre.
@remainingnameless Ad hominem attacks are inappropriate. To label someone a bigot is a cheap tactic used by political left wingers like yourself to discredit the opinions of others, despite your oh-so-noble claims to be "tolerant" of other people's opinions. :rolls eyes: Yeah, right, nice try. And no, I will make no apologies for my opinions or my use of terms.
Thankfully, OUR youth our much too smart to accept the double standards of postmodern thinkers like yourself.
@TheWNMan Re-read carefully. I said you TREAD a line. Did I call you a bigot? You're entitled to your feelings or opinions, but you've unnecessarily turned this page into a socio-political muck raking contest and I'm not a willing participant. I came here to enjoy the music and regretfully I eagerly pointed out what I perceived to be arrogance. I guess I'll check that eagerness at the keyboard and realize that I'm on the internet, after all; I shouldn't have expected more.
@remainingnameless It is YOU who have turned this thread into a socio-political muck racking contest. It is YOU who have used the inappropriate terminology. It is YOU who made the claim to the apparent arrogance of a comment. I'm simply defending my Western cultural heritage and there is nothing wrong with that.
As to your realization that "I'm on the internet", well, golly gee, did you really expect everyone to have the same opinions as yourself? Welcome to the UNCENSORED internet.
@TheWNMan Sad isn't it? What's even more disappointing is that - even the act of saying what you just said, will attract an entirely different group which is opposed to elitism of any form, and will derail you, defending all music with that whole argument of "music is music, just because you don't like it doesn't mean--- blah blah" Even though that group may not listen to mainstream garbage or be involved in the culture, they defend them from people like you. And the cycle continues.
Simply astonishing. There's enough power in this piece to meet a small nation's electricity requirements for a month.

This is one of the best pieces ever. Bach and Mozart are know for their more standard variations but these type of pieces are where the real genius and passion come out.

Thank you for introducing me to these Bach Solo Concertos by the English Concert. They are the best I have heard. I think it is my favourite Bach Concerto Orchestra. I never heard this concerto conducted and played this beautifully before. It is so uplifting, lively, and brilliant. I ordered the 5 CD box today ... Listened to this literally a thousand times and I am still waiting on fire for the CD's to arrive.....
A big thank you.

Man do I fucking love Bach. I wish I could go back in time and just talk to him. I wonder if he knew how much his music would impact the world. I mean, I know he didn't because back then people honestly didn't care for him or his work but he continued. God damn...

Calling somebody an idiot for their taste in music is ridiculous. I love Bach; his music was is complex and fast-paced, but still artful and precise. However, the insults you threw at the musicians of today were completely uncalled for. Did Bach have more 'talent'? In more than 99% of cases, yes; his music is far too intricate for anybody less musically gifted to even dream of creating. But he wrote for a specific type of listener, and plenty of people much prefer other genres.

Fuck. Why does Bach have to be associated with uptight assholes and snobbery. I like Bach, and all its interpretations. Its "gangster" in the sense that its bad ass. Stop with the pretentiousness. I was just listening to Slayer, now Bach. Its good music, piss off with the superiority complex.

Well i have to say that they (although its an arrogant point) the do have one. If bach where born in our day and age, if he studied "gangster" music for a week he probably would be able to recreate those beats. While the other way around would'nt happen in a million years. My point is that the level which he achieved will probably never be recreated again, cause anybody who's born today will have all his time sucked away by the thing i'm staring at.

In point of fact this music and instrumentation is far, far superior to "gangster" culture.
We live in a world of automated sound bytes that represent the so called "gangster" culture. I do not see the connection between superior European music and degenerate "gangster" music/culture.

@TheWNMan Thank you, I couldn't have said it better myself. Compare anything Bach ever wrote to the simple, repetitive, talentless and ridiculous primitive mumblings of a bunch of idiots who glorify the lowest trash of society is certainly a big insult to art and intelligence.

@SoliDeoGloria8550 They don't see it as an art. Not really, at least. They like the simple beats and they like dancing. It's the adrenaline they like, not the music. Generally. And the adrenaline is linked with the music, so they listen to it regularly.
I do hate mainstream, however. But I still feel like Bach went a little overboard with his compositions via counterpoint. That's just my taste in music, though.

@SoliDeoGloria8550 @TheWNMan I'm sorry but you can find good music in every genre, its very ignorant to throw all rap in one area and say its all horrible. I love so many composers like bach, but if you just listen to one kind of music, your missing out of life. One music may be "more musically talented" but lyrically other songs are just a phenomenal. In all genres, there are genius in music. rap, metal, classical, contemporary, rock, blues. Don't be ignorant. Maybe give things a chance...

Art: Works produced by such skill and imagination.
Intelligence: Intelligence has been defined in different ways, including the abilities for abstract though
I think your so called "gangsta rap" encompasses both.
Bach was revolutionary, he changed things, encouraged polyphony, and sounded different

See maybe you have a point, maybe the kids who grew up in the early eighties and late seventies didn't know how to play instruments.

It is because of redundant elitist peoples of your nature that there is a separation between the supposed enriched "high cultural groups" and the ghastly uneducated "low cultural groups" (people to whom you refer to as barbaric).

@TheWNMan You don't see the connection because you don't know very much about music. As Dvorak himself predicted, America only found its own sound by borrowing from African music, and that's where we get modern Rock and Roll and rap (which is more of a poetic form).
You think that your disdain for that which you don't understand makes you elite and cultured and some kind of well-justified snob. It doesn't. It makes you an uncultured dullard.

@GilbertSmith Even as a person who enjoys some hip hop, I state for a fact that most rap is simplistic and abhorrent. This is undeniable. It's inauthentic garbage written by old white dudes and probably the CIA, and has hijacked African American identity and solidarity by preaching a cult of materialism and subservience. In any case, for all of the presumed relativity of taste and aesthetics, there is still much commonality in judgement of those of us who have a clue about music. Why is that? ;)

You tread a fine line here between being a bigot and offering an honest, heartfelt commentary about the state of "music" today. I do agree that the mainstream, commercialized music that bombards our airwaves today is idiotic at best, but when you say "European" in such a context, it sounds highly arrogant and only serves to alienate other potential fans of the genre.
