J S Bach "Little" Fugue in G minor arranged for String Orchestra: Viola part

[MrKlausbaudelaire]

seens really nice, and seconding that coment over there, I'd love a Cello "little fugue" would be very warm and beautifull ^^ but I unfortunatly have to point the quality of the sound is pretty bad =( sorry

[ixion1741]

NEEDS MORE CELLO!



[violinlovertoo]

Could you post the other parts as well? I'm trying to arrange this piece for a string quartet. Thanks much!

[lelouchmagnet12]

im sorry bach but you failed epicly at 2:00

[bonumfatum457]

You forgot the dynamics! D'X

[beatleman17]

This is a great arrangement! Can you send it to me? That would be awesome!!!

[onesummerseve]

...... doesn't the viola play alto cleft?

[ExpressStaveNotation]

@onesummerseve Yes, the first parts are cues for the violin (treble clef) then cello (bass clef). The viola enters in bar 33 : )

[dracublah]

@onesummerseve the viola IS playing in alto cleft. is you know how to read music the beginning says "violin 1" meaning those are que notes... you don't play those.

[12drmgrTX]

@onesummerseve yes



[joy22296]

I'm glad you uploaded this, I'm a viola player ,and this is helping me with my playing test.

[cellochix48]

welll i don't know what age group this is for but I'm only in eighth grade and i have this song and its like four times harder and a level 4....real instruments like my cello would have sounded better than the computer

[joeremy24]

whats the program??

[silverdpx3]

@joeremy24 Finale Notepad

[19saxman91]

I like it. the viola is a bit loud though.

[ipwnyouallatcod]

hey can you send me the music for this please? :) its amazing i love it

[jonfender123]

When I try to play what I have done there is no sound. Can you help?

[KiyoKenshin]

This is why I like woodwind instruments... less guesstimation on tuning! haha, nice job though, especially for sightreading! I would totally have been lost by halfway through the first page! :)

[davonindonesia1]

the viola's sound is not too good....

seems that the notes are the same with when we play it with the organ, but the sound is totally different. Of course because the instrument is different.

but he arranged very nicely. good job!!!

[tHEXxMiStAbROWNxX]

you played !!!!! |8)

[tHEXxMiStAbROWNxX]

ii triedd to play this on muh Recorder sounds iight !

[HardcoreCowLip]

My audition piece.

this songs impossible in 16ths.

fuck.

[tHEXxMiStAbROWNxX]

@HardcoreCowLip  thatsxz only 8th notes !!

[descriptif]

I can be really honest...

The music is beautiful, especially played with string instruments

But I must say your viola playing wasnt good enough to go with other voices

I think you should do the right thing and reupload this vid with the computer playing the viola part.

This would make this arrangement even more popular

[ExpressStaveNotation]

@descriptif

No prob with your honesty, but it is unusual that you want the more beautiful midi viola part! I agree the viola playing is not the best but it illustrates the fact that I am offering this arrangement with embedded practice parts, and you can either play or turn off the solo part. The viola is too loud for a start and I was sight reading! The popularity of YouTube videos does not always match their quality, so I dont think another upload of this would magically overtake this one!

[soultaker879]

@ExpressStaveNotation who made your viola? it sounds weird

[kourosh89]

@descriptif No. I think the playing was good, but the viola was out of tune.

[rhythmyx]

viola is written in alto clef...

[wahl2112]

I love bach

[xSnoweyexp]

jesus man your playing is horrible im sorry

[ShiningTaggerung]

Can you send me the sheet music please?

[ExpressStaveNotation]

I can sell you this arrangement for $20 US. You get all parts set out well, plus they all have the other parts embedded fro rehearsal. You can vary the tempo, plus I have a link to the free Finale application.

[PLA8thRt]

@ExpressStaveNotation Can u tell me what the program you are using? Is it free or do we have to pay for it?

[ExpressStaveNotation]

I made it in Finale 2006, which cost a lot, but at the time they had a free application, Finale NotePad, which you can use to play the file, change tempo, and edit if you want. But not the hidden tracks. So now they took past versions of NotePad off their website, but I have a link to NotePad 06 and its free. If you want to buy my arrangement, I will send you the link.

[PLA8thRt]

@ExpressStaveNotation oh its fine then, but thank you for telling me the program. I would gratefully buy your arrangement, as it seems it was prepared with much effort and time into it, but i'm afraid because i have no credit,debit,giftcard, or paypal, i will not be able to buy this arrangement of yours. but i can do one good thing and it is to ask my friends what they think of it, maybe they will purchase it.

[grThetrojan01gr]

@ExpressStaveNotation So, here's Finale. Ok, thanks, I prefer Sibelius :P :P

[DarkArgent101]

what program did you use to do this?

[STHanson08]

hey, -what audio are you using? I hate to seem a novice-but this is unlike the default finale sound...it's in fact much better- thank you

[ExpressStaveNotation]

It is the Finale default, but i turned up the reverb in the mixer and keep in mind the viola part is me playing live , while the viola part is muted on the computer.

[greedlz]

very nice but i think there should be a pdf. file. it shouldn't be hard to upload it as well. i expect to see 50,000 views when some geeks catch on (i'm not saying geek in a derogatory way)

[ExpressStaveNotation]

Im trying to sell this arrangement for profit! I have given away hundreds of the Pachelbel Canon for free. With this version you get more than the sheet music, it is audio backing for rehearsing any of the parts.

[Jmtz950]

i have it but mine its for violin

[CaixaDeSol]

Finale! :)

[victorialove360]

ok thanks!!!

[Dante38488]

[victorialove360]

heeeyyy, what program didya use to make that?

[sshsclar08]

I love this arrangement.

[MicrobeObliteratorMo]

hey i think our orchestra is playing the exact same version 0.0... eh never mind it's shorter than that....

[narutoqueen4]

I'm doing it too. the same version.

[narutoqueen4]

well a little different. :)

[MisappliedRhetoric]

Your arrangement is superb.

I'd love to hear this reformed by actual human musicians.

[JuyoNi]

there's a choir arrangement for this and its awesome:)

[MisappliedRhetoric]

That does sound awesome -I hope i'ts available on Youtube.

I'm about to find.

[eur3KKa]

hahaha me too.. its so funny

I want to play the viola and I love this fugue!! so odd

[buildabear12345]

Amazing. I was tottaly looking for this.

[ExpressStaveNotation]

Do you have a PayPal account? If so send me a private message and I'll give you my email.

[ExpressStaveNotation]

I'll sell it to you for the reduced rate of $10. You want buy??!!

[ExpressStaveNotation]

5 parts, 2 pages each ...

How much would you like to pay?!!

[ExpressStaveNotation]

Thanks! I can sell you the arrangement for $10US. You get all the parts (printable) with embedded backing tracks for rehearsing, and a link to a free version of Finale NotePad.

Cheers, John

[death0breeder]

ahaha this sounds totaly awsome with a hevaly distorted guitar!!

[MyBrainInc]

This is a great arrangement! I'd love to have the sheet music.

[ExpressStaveNotation]

I can sell it to you. See reply above!

[eagle0924]

[uplaman1]

do you have the cello part?

[CelloPlaya08]

that would be amazing if u did! :)

[kaulitzfuturewife]

sooooooo pretty.. feels good to be a violist :D

[tonymonta26]

what program is that ?

[ExpressStaveNotation]

Finale

[tonymonta26]

thank you

[Turk656]

The written tempo is a tad bit slow.

Personally, I think the song sounds a little better when the tempo is increased by like 10 clicks or so...it sounds like the written tempo is around 130ish maybe....I think it sounds a bit better when its around 140...but thats just me.

its a good piece

[dnl783]

Now, if only I could find this song arranged by Francis Grant.

[polymath7]

Not bad at all, but Stokowsky already did this.

Nonetheless, I'd love to hear your version performed by a real orchestra.

[cyansunlight]

This piece is so amazing!

[adgome]

bravo! maestro!
