Mr. Pordon had 300 Bach cantatas to choose from...and picked this wonderfully sparkling Chorale in G Major. A definite precursor to the introduction of the Brandenburg Concerti.

Durch die Verbindung mit dem Baron van Swieten kam Mozart in intensiven Kontakt mit den Werken von Johann Sebastian Bach und Georg Friedrich Handel und dadurch zur Auseinandersetzung mit der Fugenkomposition als musikalische Form und stilistisches Ausdrucksmittel. Die Fuge KV 401 (der Schluss ist von Maximilian Stadler erganzt) ist original fur Klavier zu zwei Handen (wegen seiner enormen Schwierigkeit spater fur Klavier zu vier Handen eingerichtet). Adolf Hoffmann hat sie, analog Mozarts eigenem Beispiel (s.u.), fur Streichorchester instrumentiert. Ein strenges Werk, das Anklange an den Contrapunctus I in Bachs Kunst der Fuge aufweist. 1788 hat Mozart seine fur zwei Klaviere komponierte Fuge KV 426 fur Streichorchester eingerichtet (KV 546) und ihr ein Adagio vorangestellt, das zu seinen erschutterndsten Kompositionen zahlt. Die franzosische Punktierung der Anfangstakte deutet bereits die grosse seelische Spannung des Satzes an. Aus Mozarts letzten Lebensjahren stammt die Fantasie KV 606, ein Stuck fur ein Orgelwerk in einer Uhr, die strengen Satz und Sonatenform verschmilzt. Sie ist ebenfalls von Adolf Hoffmann fur Streicher instrumentiert.

Baroque Variants is a string orchestra piece that draws upon the stylings of J.S. Bach but sets these features to modal harmonies and modern rhythms. The motif of the piece comes from Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 3. However, while Bach starts his motif with an anacrusis (pick-up), in Baroque Variants this rhythmic idea begins on the beat and is the first thing heard. There is a fugal exposition in the middle of the piece (m. 25) that pays homage to Bach's wonderful counterpoint. The piece then moves into a challenging string quartet texture in m. 48 and comes back with a flurry to end on the original Brandenburg motif.

The combination of Vivaldi and Bach is true magic. The same can be said of this spectacular arrangement of the fugue from the first movement of L'estro Armonico 11, which Bach arranged for his Organ Concerto in D Minor. Combining the best of both versions, this arrangement explores some brilliant contrapuntal writing.

Imagine, if you will, if Bach decided to infuse popular Christmas carols into the fabric of his famous Brandenburg Concerto No. 3. That is the idea behind this arrangement, to seamlessly meld together the popular carols by arranging them in the style of this famous Bach work. Composer/arranger Larry Clark has done it again!
