WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABT THIS PART OF THE SONG
THE POLYPHONIC MUSIC?
THE HIGH NOTES?
GODDAMNIT IM BEING FED AS A MUSIC NERD
Good day to all! Yesterday I made another impossible thing. I defeated Bach. I was able to perform the Prelude and Fugue together! Even with a minimal count of mistakes! So here it is!
If somebody forgot, that is Prelude and Fugue in B-dur by Johan Sebastian Bach.
That was hard. At least for me. As I said in my previous posts, polyphonic music is not my type of music. So I can say, that can be counted as achievement.
I hope you enjoy it! Subscribe on me to see more of my content!
some shameless self promo, which doesn't feel like self promo because i'm only one of many involved in this:
my college choir's newest CD comes out on the 2nd May! first ever recordings of the little-known 16th century composer Marc'antonio Ingegneri. the album is Marc'antonio Ingegneri: Vol. 5 - Motets For the Liturgical Year and i think it's pretty damn good tbh!

(ordering from either of those links will mean the sale is tracked and we might get into the charts, so if you're gonna buy the album then go that route to make my choir director happy! obviously we wanna avoid amazon if possible, so i'd go with presto music for that reason)
and of course it will be on spotify https://open.spotify.com/artist/5OsazzFwTYWz7ZGLbafe9X?si=M6c67qs6RXyWI5DRa0NpLw
So I was watching a video about overlapping melodies in musicals and remembering how BRILLIANT Quartet at the Ballet from Broadway Anastasia is.
Not only is it a very nicely done example of grand polyphonic pieces in musicals where the characters are singing separate melodies that come from earlier in the show (think tonight quintet or one day more), they’re singing just the tunes of those earlier themes, with unique lyrics. In addition, the music ALSO flawlessly works in the theme from Swan Lake, AND the action happening on the stage of the ballet reflects the characters’ conflicts (which this post talks about in detail)
Anyways it’s just a really cool song and shout out to Stephen flaherty for some great composition.
Here’s the video if you want to check it out:
Amy Turk covers Prelude (from Final Fantasy VII) with two harps. I love this.
Hey again! So, as I promised, I posted my second video.
This is J. S. Bach's Organ Prelude and Fugue in d-moll.
About my program. I don't like to play baroque music. Especially polyphonic music. Because... well, I suck at this😆 And so my strong point was the large form (like Sonata) and the lyrical composition (you will see it next monday).
I hope you enjoy this video, even if it looks not so concert-like. Stay tuned to see more of my work!
G is for Georgia
When I started the original Radio Faux Show, one of my favorite themes was to take a trip around the world and learn about music that I do not know. I’ll come back to my normal posts in a few weeks, such as Sunday Jazz and 3 Song Dance Party, but for now let’s continue our journey across the globe. The Rustavi Choir perform polyphonic vocal music. The nation of Georgia was the area that produced…
