Formula writing? Yes, but Bach does some wonderful things within this tradition.Įven though I like all of Bach's music I have always felt seduced by the trumpet writing in Bach's cantatas and orchestral music. The lowest trumpet usually follows the timpani fairly closely, the third trumpet either joins in with the timpani or provides the lowest part to the two upper "clarino" trumpets, whose parts are the highest and most florid.

#BACH TRUMPET PC#
Admittedly the Sonatina from BWV 106 wasn't very successful to my ears (it is one of my favorite Bach pieces) but the four trumpets and timpani sounded magnificent even on a humble PC ! Did Bach write many other works for four trumpets? I am very well aware of the music of his predecessors in Leipzig and I have quite a lot of scores by Knupfer, Schelle, Kuhnau and Schein which have very bold brass parts and works like BWV 119 and BWV 63 certainly continue this tradition. Maybe I am brainwashed by Wendy Carlos but Bach does seem to work very well in a synthetic 'virtual' setting. 2, using the "trumpet in D" sound for the trumpet (in F) part. I didn't bother to program an organ continuo sound. I used the "trumpet in C" sound, the "treble recorder" sounds (in BWV 119) and the normal oboe, bassoon and string sounds. What amazed me was how good Bach sounded but the Mozart just didn't quite work! Even on my Pentium the four trumpets sound fantastic in both of these cantatas (even though the sound is only an "impression" of the real sounds). The BWV 119 is particularly beautiful and I don't have a recording of this one (any suggestions?) and BWV 63 is a lovely work too. Both of these works have parts for four trumpets in C and timpani in C and G as well as woodwind and strings. I next tried two works I have in the Kalmus study scores - BWV 119 (the opening chorus) and BWV 63 (again, the first movement). It worked reasonably well with the recorder and viol sounds and still managed to sound "deep" even though it was programmed. I then tried the Sonatina from Actus Tragicus BWV 106. I tried the overture to Mozart's opera Die Entfuhrung aus dem Serail which sounds rather nice with all the percussion and the Cosi fan tutte overture too. With Sibelius it is possible to program in quite large scaled works. Alas, one cannot save one's work on the demo version. It does come will quite a lot of sounds (even recorders and viols) and I have had some fun programming in some scores. It is quite good but at around $1200 (Australian) it is a little out of my reach at the moment. I have recently been trying out the demo version of the Sibelius music software. | Scores & Composition, Parodies, Reconstructions, TranscriptionsĤ x Trumpet Bonanza + Bach's on computers
