Methinks the old man would have been delighted with this. Bach's music has been played on so many instruments- or voices- not in the original score. I recall hearing PDQ Bach doing an orchestral rendition of Prelude #1 in ragtime, bur couldn't find it on YouTube.
I love how they make the concluding chord by throwing down their tubes.
I always loved bell-ringing, bottle-blowing, and all that kind of thing. It does make this more fun that two people have to make each note--more like a sword dance.
Cass, I know what you mean. I love playing this piece even now, having heard it about a billion times.

ReplyDeleteThat was amazing - I remember learning how to play that piece, and it's still one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this :)
Seems like bell-ringers who grew up on Star Wars. It does add a level of complication when you need two people for each note.
