Bach is not dead here. http://oregonbachfestival.com/ http://oregonbachcollegium.org/index.php http://www.bachcantatachoir.org/ 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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtevD...eature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lreFPGMe99w http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r37j8eTmA6k |

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. |

More like dilute hydrochloric acid followed by a really, really, really good fruit brandy. If you say so. I'm more reminded of something fermented until fully stabilized, but also until it has no remaining appeal to a well- exposed palate. Actually, the best of J.S. Bach is incomparable. "Everyone loves J.S. Bach except cretins and those with undeveloped or improperly developed minds." - Tom Sherman Procol Harum did their best to redeem it, but I personally don't believe it was worth their time. Most human ears have moved on. At least they grooved on it. 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.

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. |
