Brandenburg Concerto #3, Movement 1, Allegro, BWV 1048, by Johann Sebastian Bach
6 minutes 37 seconds
Bach's six Brandenburg Concertos were an "audition" for the Margrave of Brandenburg in 1721. They are Bach's, if not mankind's, finest works of music. Bach did not get the job. They laid on forgotten shelves for over a century and were not published until 1850.
Realized on Yamaha DX-100 synthesizer, effects boxes and Tascam Porta-1 4-track tape recorder. Best listened to with headphones.
Music composed before 1721 by Johann Sebastian Bach (public domain)
(P) 1990

Thank you SO very much! What a wonderful comment to wake up to today!

However, I can only take some of the credit ofr its beauty. All I did besides perform was create sounds more interesting than violins, violas, cellos, and basses, and distribute those sounds around the stereo spectrum.
Johann Sebastian's incredibly mathematical and precise creative mind is responsible for what you hear in this incredible work - all the back and forth between the parts is already written in the music itself!
This is usually lost in the recording of a standard physical layout of a symphony or string group; a very interesting case of where technology has better realized the composer's music than a standard interpretation.
Most pieces of classical music only have really two different things going on in them at any one time; Bach's 3rd Brandenburg has at least four!
It still boggles my mind that centuries before the invention of multi-track tape recorders music like this could just come out of someone's brain.
Johann Sebastian was truly a great musical genius!

Mostly because they all sound the same when synthesized, and turn into mush when mixed together...
Try the Second Brandenburg - I synthesized that one trying to make it sound like the originally scored instruments.
