@Sakurazuka1999 I really like this piece on piano, but I don't have any kind of training and had to look up equal temperament. Is Sweenlick better in a choral arrangement or strings? Suggestions?

But why wouldn't he? It may be anachronistic, but if everyone thought like that, we would not have Gould's, or anyone else's piano versions of the Well Tempered Clavier or Goldberg Variations. Would you really want to live in such a world?
I'm scurrying for sources which I cannot remember but I know that Bach was greatly influenced by Sweelinck (one hesitates to apply that verb to Bach), but I have tried to get some Sweelinck on cd and he doesn't seem to be a major feature of the menu. He should be!
@CompleteAbstractionZ your right, he uses a touch more purple than he ought to, and although his touch on the indigoes and light blues is simply marvelous, I absolutely DETEST his idea of yellows and oranges.... What rubbish I tell you... what rubbish indeed.
Both composer and pianist bring us closer to God.

The slight hum is a ground loop - put an isolation transformer in the audio line from player to recorder. Radio Shack 270-054 works.

Hmmm, I really love Glenn Gould but playing Sweelink on piano in equal temperament is like playing Chopin on a Korg synthesizer...

@Sakurazuka1999 Yes, that's true. It erases a significant part of the harmonic richness.

@alipitogen Definitely! It's sad that history made this great mind step back behind the other great composers of Baroque.

This song is naturally rich in flavor, but Gould accentuates the depth of the colors. Ahhhh.

A classic. Glenn Gould is as good as it gets.
