Air on the G String: Bach's timeless work, performed on original instruments by San Francisco Early Music Ensemble Voices of Music and accompanied by a montage of the most beautiful images of deep space.
Visit us at http://www.voicesofmusic.org for more videos and concert information.
Featuring Elizabeth Blumenstock and Katherine Kyme, baroque violins; Lisa Grodin, baroque viola, Joanna Blendulf, baroque cello; William Skeen, violone; Hanneke van Proosdij, chamber organ; David Tayler, theorbo.
Every effort has been made to recreate the original ensemble that performed this piece. This includes using the original violins, viola, cello, baroque organ with German style pipes and wind chest, as well as the strings and baroque bows. A characteristic pitch of 415.3 Hz was chosen which is lower than the modern Concert pitch of 440Hz. This pitch favors the colors of the baroque strings and Continuo. Bowing patterns, articulation, trills and ornamentation are all based on German baroque performance practice.

  • I have loved the stars to fondly to be fearful of the night.

    - Galileo

    I used to be scared of the dark when I was young. Then for some reason I decided to overcome it. I would go out into the forest with my dog and lie underneath a pine tree while looking up at the constellations. At first I was nervous, but with my trusty companion by my side I eventually overcame this fear. And then I found a peace and serenity that I have only known on a clear dark night.

  • @Modforhd and then they go out for taco bell
