I've been in a none too happy a mood for the past few days; so, tonight, I turned to the one who usually saves me in times of emotional discontent, a certain Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) - whose music will live on long after I'm dust, in my opinion, at least. Anyway, here's an arrangement I've made of his Prelude in C ... a staple for all who, like me, love - and like to dabble in - classical music. For this one, I slowed down Bach's Prelude to half speed, chose the RealStyle, and then just let BIAB do its magic with his music (including letting it add a panpipe descant - the original Prelude is "just" arpeggiated chords, on the piano). Sometimes, just sometimes, it's good to get out of the way, right? especially when dealing with such extraordinary music as Bach's, and such incredibly capable music software as BIAB This, I think, really showcases what it (BIAB) can do ... what do you think? Thank you so much for listening - all comments are very welcome.

I agree with Mario. Nice meditative music!
Did you use the chords to what is otherwise known as the Well-Tempered Klavier without the the arpeggio melody and then slow it down?
I was thinking about recording that on Classical guitar here soon.
Very nice and soothing.

This is a genre I don't hear much at this site and I enjoyed it. I love that pan flute, very soothing. Well done.

Nicely done! That's a cool exercise, and the results are quite pleasant to listen to. I could imagine this in the background of an art display. This song (and Bach) remind me of the power of diminished chords. Need more of those in my life. Thanks for sharing!

Lovely and well arranged with a great track choice.
Meditative, contemplative, relaxing and more. One can connect their own dots to describe this composition.
Enjoyed it!

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
