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.

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.

Guenter,

you are certainly one creative dude

Amazing.

Alyn

Outstanding work, very creative; thanks for sharing!

Guenter

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!

Hi Janice & Bud, Alyn, Robert and Trevor,

thank you very much for your kind comments.

Guenter

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.

Hi, Guenter !:))

Hey, this is simply just fantastic !:))
I do not find words for this but it will
be my favorite Guentertune from now on !:))
You are a genius Gunter !:)) Would be
nice to be able to come down to Karlsruhe
for a chat !:))I like the great JSB too, I have
sung the whole Christmas Oratory (what a
great experience) !!!:))


Cheers
Dani

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

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.

Wow, Guenter...

Not sure what to say besides "WOW"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is so creative and original. Simply stunning production. Loved it!!!!!!

Al & Di

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 Floyd,

thanks for your nice comments.
Yes, it takes some time to put together.
But "The journey is the destination".

Guenter

Hi Dani,

thanks a lot for your kind remarks.
Yes, a chat in Karlsruhe would be nice.
The Christmas Oratory is quite a task.

Guenter

Amazing!

Dean

hi Guenter lot going on don't know how you do it however you got it under control very creative thanks for sharing eric

Hi Mario, Mike, Al, Steve, Noel and Josie,

thank you very much for your kind encouraging
words.

Guenter

Hi Tommy,

thanks for your compliments.
I'm going to see a doctor on Monday.

Guenter

Really interesting!! Morphed from an OYE COMO VA intro to a totally different vibe! Very cool and different. Dig it! Take care. Greg

Well, that was certainly interesting. Very cool and creative.

I've never liked the vocaloids but, this is the one thing that I do think they do very well..... as long as they're not trying to sing words....at least English words. It was nearly impossible to tell they were synth voices except in a very few places. (higher register slides)

I too like the Santana intro.... I would have brought that back as a recurring theme in a few places..... but, I enjoyed this for what it was nevertheless.

Hello, Guenter.

A really cool little tune you've made! Reminds me a bit of Claude Bolling's work. Thoroughly enjoyable!. Bravo!


Thanks for the music,
Dan

Hi Aleck, Eric, Greg, Herb and Dan,

thanks for taking the time to listen
and your nice comments.

Guenter

Definitely different and totally creative.


Josie

Hi Josie,

thanks so much for your kind words.

Guenter

Guenter,

This is another AMAZING production you have done here. Johan Sebastian Santana! Who would've thought it! I like everything I have heard you do, but this is one of my favorites.

Steve

Johann Guenter Sebastian Santana! indeed!

great work all around!

Hi Steve and Lawrence,

thanks for taking the time to listen and comment.
Much appreciated.

Johann Guenter

Way cool. I don't know how you manage it all. Love that sax, what a neat surprise, spun me right around.

This had me thinking movie soundtrack. Excellent production.

Hi Olemon,

thanks a lot for your kind comments.
