Bach is not dead here. http://oregonbachfestival.com/

Bach has plenty of syncopation -- Jesus Joy of Man's Desiring and the
Inventions are filled with syncopation. May not be your cup of tea
(which is fine), but let's be accurate. A Whiter Shade of Pale is one
of the greatest rock songs of all times. My band played a Whiter Shade
of Pale in 2001, and we're going to do it again this year.

Me and a few hundred of my friends get together every year to march
and play --
(that first clip picks up the tail end of our signature song, Louis,
Louis [Bach version] -- I'm in the second row, look closely). Not
Austin, but we still have a good time.

That's cool! Y'all remind me of the Leland Stanford Jr. University
Marching Band, whom we had the pleasure of playing with in Seattle at
HONK! Fest West 2010.

Y'all could stand to take some fashion cues from LSJUMB, though.

Yah, we have to wear uniforms. It's probably a sponsorship thing --
we are a bunch of olde tymer slackers, but it is clearly not an anti-
band ala Stanford (that was doing outrageous field shows even when I
was in HS back in the dark ages). -- Jay Beattie.

Actually, the best of J.S. Bach is incomparable.

UTTER NONSENSE. Bach is timeless - if humanity survives another 10,000
years, people will still be listening to Bach, but very little written
in the second half of the 20th Century or the first decade of the 21st
Century.

Music has moved at least as far beyond J.S. Bach as J.S. Bach had
moved beyond monophonic Dark Ages tunes. It's very hard to make a
case for pre-blue, pre-swing, pre-syncopation, pre-groove sounds now
that we have been programmed with the good stuff. Listening to what
passed for dance music in Western culture before the 20th century,
it's baffling that anyone could dance to it.

Nonsense. Michael Praetorius's Terpsichore (1612) arrangements are
fuller of life than 99.9% of what has followed.

But music is a living
thing, and after it has died, even the most skillful taxidermist can't
give back what once was there.

UTTER NONSENSE. Bach's music is the peak of artistic achievement, with
everything before and after inferior.

I admit to being somewhat spoiled by living in a highly musical
clique, within a highly musical subculture, within a city whose
musical charms are unparalleled. I don't doubt that there could be
some provincial places within the country that are, musically
speaking, three hundred years behind my corner of Austin. But actual
three hundred year old music is still dead, even in those places.

I have heard Bach performed by live persons.

What you talkin' about? We got three nice ladies playing
Sousaphones!

But no, we don't play any J.P. Sousa. No Gilbert & Sullivan,
either.

We do some Shantel, though:

If Sheldon were still alive, he'd slap you around for that one.

We marched behind the Woodland String Band last year --
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozjdr4c3hAI That's from the Mummers
parade in Philly and a lot more complicated than their honking in the
Grand Floral Parade in PDX, but it is really cool to hear a totally
sax driven band with zero brass. Really good musicians, too -- these
neighborhood string bands compete with each other like the English
company brass bands. -- Jay Beattie.
