bach himself — a younger, more rebellious figure (played by actor tom mccamus) than the bewigged stone - faced elder we’re used to seeing — turns up in “six gestures, ” in which director patricia rozema juxtaposes bach’s (and ma’s) philosophical musings with some moody ice - skating sequences and an occasional zany touch. barbara willis sweete’s “falling down stairs, ” on the other hand, takes a standard documentary form as stringy - haired choreographer mark morris wrestles with the material while ma looks on with childlike delight at the dancers .
atom egoyan’s “sarabande, ” the most absorbing film of the six, is a complex tapestry of several interwoven humorous and poignant slices of stressed - out life in toronto, flitting back and forth in time with the music of bach filtering through the action here and there. the relaxed “struggle for hope” reverts back to a rather glacially paced docu format as producer - director niv fichman presides over a fusion of ma’s bach and kabuki dancing by tamasaburo bando — a union that neither hurts nor helps either idiom, but is certainly filmed in gorgeously rich colors .

yeah, i don' t consider myself to be an artist, i' m more like a producer. i started my career in the 90s and all the music was made by producers like the prodigy, massive attack and chemical brothers; there was a window in the history of music where great albums weren' t made by charismatic people like david bowie but by people in a recording studio. i think i really belong to the family, i never felt comfortable taking pictures or acting in videos. after that, rock' n' roll came back with the strokes and suddenly we came back to the band and the rockstar artists. but there was six or seven years where great music was made by producers. companies started to sell these records like artist' s albums, but we weren' t artists, we were just producers in the studio .

this is an absolutely superb version of the bach cello suites. the intonation is flawless throughout, the tonal quality beautiful and the interpretation often gives a fresh insight into these familiar works. the recording quality is of an extremely high satandard .
emmy (experiments in musical intelligence) was one of the first artificial intelligence software capable of “tricking” the human ear. its creator, david cope, a researcher at the university of california, fed emmy hundreds of bach’s chorales and perfected the software until it was able to to compose melodies on its own – melodies that people could not distinguish from those written by the german genius. the key was teaching emmy to break some rules. the following video is an example of this artistic machine’s work .
using direct address with bach, played by tom mccamus, speaking to the audience, she constructs a filmic essay; footnotes and all. combining dramatic enactments, with documentary style interviews, intimate direct address, yo - yo ma' s cello performance, the figure skating of jayne torvill and christopher dean, and graffiti messages, rozema creates a truly polyphonic structure. six gestures was awarded a prime time emmy and is among rozema' s finest work, a true expression of her style and vision .
piranesi and the music of johann sebastian bach. using a striking and highly contrasted visual style, director françois girard places yo - yo ma within a series of computer - generated, three - dimensional recreations of piranesi’s well - known prison etchings .
the museum is hosted in bose house, previously a residence of the bose family, who were friends with bach. step inside to see features of the building that date back to this era, including a mirror - lined banqueting hall that is now used for concerts .
that' s the funny thing, i didn' t want to do a solo album, i was just at home and i was hearing classical music and, little by little, i created the songs—it caught me by surprise—suddenly i realised that i was actually making a solo record. i was very happy about it, but it' s new to me; it wasn' t my plan. personally i don' t like it when members of bands do solo records, i think there' s an alchemy in the bands, which is more magic than lonely people .
as a cellist, yo - yo ma is a huge inspiration to me. the bach suites are my favourite classical piece of music for the cello, and mr ma plays them magically. there' s no way i could give this anything less than 5 / 5 !
finally, the somewhat dour “the sound of the carceri” attempts to make ma pretend that he is playing within buildings that were never built. drawing upon etchings by the 18th - century architect giovanni battista piranesi, the film utilizes sepia - toned computer projections and tweaked electronic reverberation to simulate these environments .

his clarity of exposition is just extraordinary, and the combination of physical gesture and inner life, which was so beautifully reflected in the skating of torvill and dean during the sixth suite, captures bach' s very essence. bach himself was made to appear in the latter film, in the person of actor tom mccamus, spinning a narrative about his life and thinking which was intercut with the movements of the suite. informative, if somewhat naive in style, this biographical element was certainly more acceptable than the rambling discussions that overloaded the treatment of suite no 2 .
throughout the six films, one is amazed anew at how endlessly durable bach’s stark, now life - affirming, now morose compositions are. they can take everything the filmmakers throw at them — even the tightly stylized rituals of kabuki theater and the harsh jackhammers and sirens of downtown boston .
the bach museum is open from tuesday to sunday. there is an admission fee, with free entry for children aged up to 16. the museum is located opposite st. thomas church, which has a bus stop outside. walk here from nearby market square and the old town hall .
the bourrée is in e minor while
blackbird
is in g major - so they share the same key signature of one sharp - and both use highly chromatic harmony, but there is no clear relationship. this makes me wonder why so many have assumed the bourrée to be the correct bach piece. might it be some other? as it turns out, no, it is the bourrée. paul might not know the name of it, but he can still play it, and on 28 july 2005, paul performed a live solo concert at abbey road studios, which was recorded and released as chaos and creation at abbey road. during the performance, he again cited bach as an influence on
blackbird
and even played a few measures of the bach original to illustrate the similarities (which can be heard from about 37: 39 - 38: 51 in the video below) .
the only similarity i hear by listening is that they' re both played on acoustic guitars. (but even then, the guitar paul played on
blackbird
had metal strings, whereas classical guitars typically use nylon strings to give a warmer sound - and the above recording is no exception). perhaps score study will yield results .
johann sebastian bach was born in eisenach in 1685 and was one of the most influential figures in the baroque music movement. although he has many famous works, including the soaring brandenburg concertos, his weekly commissions from churches in leipzig meant that he composed hundreds of songs, airs and toccatas before his death in 1750 .
they did for ice dancing what bach did for the cello ,
says mr. ma, who began playing the cello at age 4 .
they both work with a strict form, but through working this way, they' re able to find unbelievable freedom of expression and freedom of depth ,
he says .
it' s half a tribute, half a joke about the technique of bach because it' s a new way of creating music that we don' t know anything about in pop. basically, when you do a pop song you put down some chords and you sing a melody on top of them, the counterpoint is something completely different. it' s just melodies between them, which create a song by mixing them together - - there' s not a chord. it was the origin of the project, when i recorded it went much further than that but because it was in the beginning, the first step, i just decided to call the album like that .
computers have been working as a canvas, paintbrush, or musical instrument for a while now, says the director of the spanish artificial intelligence research institute. however, in addition to serving as tools for art, “machines are now also capable of creating something that did not exist before by combining known things in a new way. ” in other words, they can be creative .
yet with all due respect to bach, the primary focal (and marketing) point and unifying factor at the core of these films is the indestructibly sweet personality and gentle charisma of yo - yo ma himself. with an almost ingenuous spirit, he glides serenely through each setting, exuding a calming presence even amidst the most bizarre or fractious personalities and situations .
“as the first rhine class river yacht, crystal bach will introduce a new standard of luxury in river cruising on many fronts, including the culinary concept and innovative experiences found on board, ” said edie rodriguez, ceo and president of crystal. “while we are always pursuing new and distinctive experiences on each of our luxury vessels, our overall dedication to unsurpassed quality and abundant choices remains constant. ”
“the culinary experience aboard all crystal vessels is meant to inspire travellers to discover more about the world they explore, as food and the camaraderie of dining is such an integral part of the travel experience, ” said toni neumeister, senior vice president of hotel operations. “guests aboard crystal bach will not only enjoy extraordinary new and classic flavours, but also a taste of the history and culture of this beautiful region. ”
menu highlights will include fresh fish and seafood from holland, seasonal fruits and vegetables from germany and the netherlands, meat and poultry from farmers in bavaria and the austrian alps, along with wine, beers and cheeses that are specific to the region. in addition, guests will be able to enjoy coffees and teas by julius meinl, a vienna - based company which has crafted the beverages since 1862. there will also be multiple dedicated vegetarian dishes .
yeah, sometimes i had to be brave because i thought it was great and then the next morning it wasn' t good. i had a lot of doubts and i was by myself, you know when you' re in a band and you can share the process with someone? when you' re alone you never know if you' re going in the right direction or not, because there' s no one to tell you .
an actor, tom mccamus, plays a melancholy bach, with pipe, contemplating god, death, his children, his patron prince leopold and other matters.'' life is a symphony of sorrows,'' he sighs. and unseen, but a most imposing presence, is the director, patricia rozema, who must be held responsible for the on - screen consequences of a hard - working camera and computer .

it caught me by surprise, after one minute i said —' that' s it, i have to change something in my life, what i' m doing is not where i' m meant to be as a human being.' it was good when i started my career but right now with the experience and with all of my knowledge i understood that i was not making the music that i should considering all that i did in the past—it was time for me to move on and turn the page, i understood that right away when i saw the documentary .
paul further admitted that
the bit where we went wrong, i later took that, the idea that you get the bass line and the top line (the melody) and turned it into' blackbird' .
and now it makes sense! comparing the bourrée (as paul played it) and
blackbird
side by side, we can easily see the similarity. the example below shows in blue notes that are identical between the two, while red notes indicate comparable (if not identical) similarities. further notice that paul adds several notes (the black ones) .
this is not the first time that bach’s cello suites have been filmed; as recently as 1992, mstislav rostropovich performed the cycle for homevideo, but those were strictly performance films with added interview footage. what we have here are six mergers of ma’s world with other art forms, captured in films ranging in style from a straightforward documentary to a self - contained film with its own storyline. in a sense, ma is looking backward and forward at the same time, planting his feet solidly in the cello repertoire’s most hallowed ground while reaching out to six different film directors in order to break new ground .
in the car, it' s the best alignment to listen to music, i have no idea why but when you' re in the car and you' re driving i never thought of something better. so it' s not contrepoint specifically, but music in general. especially in australia where you have those big roads. in paris we have a lot of traffic jams, but when you can drive in a car and put music loud and you' re all a by yourself or you can share when you' re with someone else. in the '70s kraftwerk would invite journalists to drive on the autobahn to listen to the autobahn album. i thought it was a great idea, just to discover the record .
i was on tour and one of the musicians showed me a documentary about glenn gould and i was surprised by the guy—i thought he had the charisma of all the rockstars that we like. the music he was doing has got so much energy in it. when you' re young you listen to rock music, but when you look at glenn gould playing piano, there' s so much life in it. as i get more mature in my life i keep on discovering new music without giving up the idea of someone young and charismatic doing something with some energy. i think gould was the best of both worlds—the energy of rock 'n 'roll and the knowledge of the classics; it was a great discovery for me .
it was interesting to give the music to people and see what they' d come up with. for each song i had four or five projects and the one i chose for orca and widerstehe were so close to the idea of each song. i remember when i studied my first bach song i had some coloured pens and i' d make notes on the score, the video for orca is really visual and it explained the dynamic of the melodies, i was sure i would choose it. then, for widerstehe, the whole video was about temptation. i like the idea that when you' re a human being, you' re always attracted to a little danger, that' s why when you' re a teenager you smoke cigarettes when obviously it' s horrible. in the video, surfing among sharks was the perfect example of this .

this proves that paul was indeed thinking of the bourrée in e minor when composing
blackbird
. however, paul actually plays it wrong when demonstrating. he even acknowledges that the way he plays it, saying ,
it really should go [ sings it correctly ], but we didn' t know that bit .
the version paul played, then, is transcribed below (and transposed from d minor up to e minor for the sake of comparison) .
thanks for the video with paul and carlos bonell - i had never seen that before! nor had i heard of classical mystery tour, although apparently i just missed my chance - they played in indiana last month and have no return dates scheduled as of yet. i' ve found
the beatles complete scores
to be extraordinarily helpful when analyzing their music. it has the best and most accurate transcriptions of their music i' ve ever encountered !
this blog is a workshop for developing my analyses of the beatles' music .

the goal has been reached! i' m totally thrilled. thank you! continuing pledges past the goal will be used to insure all costs are met, and then the remainder will be rolled onto the next project, which is recording a series of string quartets. it will be amazing to not have to start at step 0! yours, harry
i have been very fortunate to have worked with many of these outstanding performers before, and they are all really keen to get to work on this project. between them, they have over two centuries of professional musical experience. that' s why it is so important to remunerate them. plus you can get some rewards... .
luckily the reid hall has a top - notch recording studio, so it will sound fantastic — and it' s all going to be filmed too. the audio will not be released commercially, so this is going to be the only chance to get a recording !
also available is a very limited run of' 6 impossible compositions before breakfast'. hand screen printed onto heavy paper .
if i go over my goal, i will ensure that all expenses are covered and then put the rest into the kitty to record a series of string quartets .
