If you listen carefully, you will notice that this fugue has COUNTER EXPOSITION!!!. Immediately after the exposition (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass), appears the second exposition but now in different order of voices (Soprano, Alto, Bass, Tenor). So, dux (g minor) is accomplished by Soprano and Tenor in the first exposition and by the Soprano and Bass in the second one. (Comes is in d minor). The most beautiful FUGUE!

amazing!
you knew how to transform the complexity of bach in a awsome jazz, without ruining its beauty.
Congrats!

It sounds so unusual! I haven't decided yet but I think I like it. I'll have to listen to some more of their music.

Awesome, I love the Swingle's doing Bach. The guy second from the right looks like "Doug" from "The King of Queens" lol.

Jonathan, it's really unusual to see you as the "charleston-man" ;-) but it's also funny. Anyway great job! I will perform this piece at my degree exam, in 2011: BWV 542 it's so "exciting" to play!
i really like this piece...what fugue is this?
