In honour of J.S. Bach's birthday (March 21), I took this excerpt from his "Two Part Invention #1, Allegro" and gave it a little 'facelift' - Enjoy!

*This style is apparently only found within the 'Midi Fakebook' folder

Interesting.

That's quite a chord sheet.

hehehe, tell me about it!

It actually was all like that when I found it (in the Midi Fakebook folder), so I guess you could say this time around my actual reworking input was rather minimal, but there you go.
I'm considering doing another later on tonight that will have some more substantial changes of my own....

Bach is back. Well done. Rob

I'd say he never went anywhere, you just have to be looking in the right places

Appreciate the feedback as always

Very cool tune. Excellent backtrack.

Man my fingers and wrists were hurting just thinking about all the typing you did just entering all those chords! But it sure worked very well! Great job on this! Thanks, Torrey

Modesty prevents me from taking any credit for that chords work, those were already in place in the template I used (from Midi Fakebook folder, as provided by PG) for reworking the piece.
What did impress me, however, was how well the RT's I added were able to cope with that soup of chords, and at 190 bpm pace to boot!

This software still manages to surprise me

Really good exercise, using BIAB/RB to 'play' Bach! Loved your choice of RT 'players', esp the tambourine rhythm--fits perfectly...liked the stops alot.

I'm gonna have to look up that style--it's pretty interesting!

Thanks for sharing your work!

Loved this one. I must admit I also enjoy making melodies from chord templates. Good fun. Let's hear some more !

Well done And wow - what a complex chord sheet indeed! It sounds extremely cohesive despite this, though. And at 190 BPM - wow! It doesn't even sound like it is moving that fast, but I guess it is.

Good work here, and thanks for sharing

What an interesting take on Bach! You really have re-invented such a classic, and yet you can still tell what its original inspiration was. And look at that chord sheet go!

Awesome share.

Hey this is a lot of fun!

I love Bach man.

Great job.

It just so happens I am completing the finishing touches of another one, so - stay tuned

Yes, those Samba RT's have something quite deceptive about them in terms of pace, you don't really register that as 190bpm... but it is

Thank you!
I really wasn't expecting this li'l showcase to gain this much attention this soon after submission - and I don't think my pieces ever got the feedback of two staff members, let alone this quick

Now, there's an unused superhero name with potential if I ever saw one - Bach-Man!

And yes, this was a lot of fun to make, so I'm glad people are having fun hearing it. Thanks for the feedback

I didn't expect the flute, but it fit nicely.

Now I'm going to have to start digging through the BiaB folders and see what other goodies I might have missed.

Thanks for that, partner!

The BBox folder is full of deeply buried treasures - Happy digging

Happy Birthday Mr. Bach!! A nice BIAB tribute Eddy! Thanks!! Take care. Greg

Thanks... oh, and I've given up trying to get you to stop calling me "Eddy"
