グラスハープ

Bach's most famous organ piece arranged for glass harp.

Free sheet music for this can be found here: http://www.classical-scores.com/free/bach-toccata-and-fugue-in-d-minor-bwv-56...

A theory has recently (1981) been put forth that J. S. Bach did not write this piece. A brief summary of the supporting evidence for this theory can be read here:

To listen to a good organ version watch Kurt Ison, Sydney Town Hall.: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FXoyr_FyFw

Or Karl Richter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zd_oIFy1mxM

Also arranged for symphonic orchestra for the famous Walt Disney cartoon "Fantasia" in 1940. Can be viewed at:

A very interesting version with a bar-graph score (midi sequencer score) gives you a visual idea of the voicing of this piece. watch:

The fourth glass, from left to right, on the third line, from bottom to top, is a little bit out of tune, but it's ok. You Have Passed!

Masterful, yet strange and intriguing. Someone obviously practices A LOT!

@Seizure94 Perhaps your problem is your not a native English speaker. A disc Jockey plays recordings (e.g. a CD). I suppose there have been experiments with electronic music (as Stravinsky once suggested would become possible). But really very little. I am somewhat surprised I can't think of an electronically produced piece of music in the sense he envisioned. Even someone like glass who uses electronic instruments stills produces the artificial music by performers playing a keyboard.

[Seizure94]

@HConstantine He created the tracks, yes? He composed and arranged the music, he came up with a melody. How is that NOT making music? Who are you to decide what music is and what isn't? Is there any written rules how music is supposed to be?

I play guitar, bass, drums ( a little), piano and sings.. And I go to one of the finest musical schools in Stockholm.. Still I produce electronic music too.. And to be a DJ is hard work.. It isn't just about clicking on a Play button u know...

@Luisjgz How is someone who plays recordings a musician? Do they have a DJ program at Julliard, do you think?

[HConstantine]

@Seizure94 I am sorry to tell you that music that is heard through speakers is not live in any meaningful sense. There are no speakers in a concert hall. How could you have deceived yourself into thinking that a disc jockey who merely plays recordings is making music? Did I make this video when I pressed the play button? Frankly, that sounds like mental illness to me.
