I can almost see Bach waiting for me with not the noblest of intentions in his mind ... but here's another arrangement I made, this time of his "Andante" from his Sonata No. 2 for Solo Violin. Hope you like it - hope I haven't committed too much of a sacrilege and butchered amazing music ... thanks for listening and for any comments!

Hi James, the backing is too loud for the melody

Hi Graham, I deliberately wanted the melody submerged and in the background! But, if it's still too much, I'll look at it again! Thanks for listening!!! :-)

I did not expect that. Very cool mashup. Love it when genres collide. Well done

Thanks Scott! Hopefully Bach won't haunt me for doing this to his music, haha ... but I'm encouraged by the fact that you liked it :-)

BiaB always offers the temptation for genre melding.

And this is a good example. It caught us completely
by surprise as we often listen before reading the details.

And even if old Bach is spinning about 500rpm's we
certainly enjoyed it. smile

Fun!

A cool mashup. I agree with Graham - I had some difficulty in hearing the melody against the backing, but I do like where you're going with this - I would never dare smile Maybe you could tweak it a bit. I would definitely give another version a listen if you do. Anyway, anyone who is willing to inject some Bach into their music in this era A-OK in my book!

Odd twists in my brain to accommodate this -- but it works.
Now, if only a violinist would come out of the woodwork and play the lead lines.

Thanks everyone for listening and for all of your thoughts! Yes, I'm sure Bach will be haunting me in my dreams ... but hey, I have a irreverent streak about me which hopefully keeps me grounded as well as silly, haha. Thanks again for humouring my "crazy" side :-)

James,

I’m not familiar with the original piece, so tough to compare in that regard. But it works well. It does seem to either move a bit fast or be a bit busy—I agree those flutes are lost a bit. I’d love to hear it with the pedal steel dialed down and those flutes a little more prominent. Though I get your intent.

Didn’t enjoy this quite as much as Prelude in C (always a subjective thing)—but some nice work regardless.

Best regards,

Deej

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
