Hi all,

As one of my most listened songs on Soundcloud was Cantata 147 I thought I should have a try with another by my favourite composer J.S.B.
I chose Brandenburger Concerto No 3 BWV 1048 in G Maj 1st Movement.
In a TV commercial I heard a Santana song and got the idea to combine the two.
This is what came out.
The drums are CoyoteWT. (I have no percussion in EZ Drummer).
Piano and Bass are MIDI from L_GUARCH.STY.
In the middle part there are strings and brass which I played myself as I did with the Santana organ.
Vocals: Vocaloid Avanna (4 tracks) and selfmade samples (1 track).
Only RealTrack used: RT 404 Sax, Tenor, HipHop Rock Swing

I hope you enjoy.
Guenter

Awesome Guenter! Are you the only composer in the solar system doing songs like this? I can't imagine the inventive thought processes behind this. JSB and Santana -- how cool is that! Man, when you start stirring that big musical pot there's just no telling what's gonna cook up. Can't wait to play this for a couple of friends. Great production.

Another outstanding performance, full of expression and surprises. The vocaloid is characteristically unique.

I really like the Salsa feel sitting behind the melody and what a great introduction.

You mentioned "This is what came out." I suspect it was a bit more complicated than you give yourself credit for.

Nice!

Guenter,

Great piece of music to begin with. The girls do a fantastic cover!
(that has GOT to take some time to get right!).

The percussion compliments the piece nicely. Definitely the first time I've hear a sax solo in the concerto. The underlying rhythm there is nice.

A beautiful mix. That aspect almost gets lost in the listening - the music is so incredibly amazing, you miss the fact that it is all "put together" so well.

As always, huge WOW factor.

All I can say is WOW!

This is just plain fantastic. You are very creative and have a very interesting selection of sound sources here. Plus you mixed them perfectly IMO!

I guess Santana said “I’ll be Bach”! Ducking and running for cover grin

This is a keeper!

Hi Guenter, like most of the stuff you do or at least have posted here, this one is as fantastic. Trying to think what is behind someone's thoughts when creating something is very hard if not impossible. Very fun piece.

Very nicely done, I wonder how many folk of a certain age was reminded of Follyfoot theme.

Hi Guenter,

The minute this started playing, it reminded me of the Swingle Singers (see link below).

Swingle Singers

That being said, and as skilful as the Swinger Singers are, I much prefer your version. I love the way that you've creatively mashed classical with contemporary and carried us through on the back of a Salsa.

You music always amazes! Always!

Best regards,
Noel

Hi Guenter
This is stunning. The vocaloid does so well with the dum-dum-dees. Loved it. So creative. I don't believe I had heard the male vocaloid before.

Guenter, This is a tremendous piece of music. The originality is astounding. Who would think of such a thing? This is a sure sign of a sick mind. We want more,more,more! Great stuff.

Hi Dani,

thanks a lot for your kind remarks.
Yes, a chat in Karlsruhe would be nice.
