Cello Suite "Prelude in G" on Marimba (w/ 4 Mallets) by J. S. Bach
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- Last night, I spent some time on a real, 5-Octave marimba! So I decided to record one of my favorite compositions: the Prelude from J. S. Bach's Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major.
I also made a Marimba Skillz video (the first in many years), which will be coming out next week! So if you love marimba as much as I do, you'll definitely want to be subscribed so you can check that out 😉!
P.S. I often use this piece as a warm-up, and my goal was to involve all 4 mallets, even though fewer would suffice. Let me know if you have any questions, and please enjoy!
Mics: Rode NT2A (stereo pair)
Mallets: GS13 (old model)
Marimba: Marimba One Izzy (heavily tweaked, just fyi)

I love many instruments, but marimba will always be number 1!
2021 will be the year that I finally get a marimba! But in the meantime, enjoy this recording I made in a local percussion studio. Plus a new "Marimba Skillz" video coming next week 😉

Thank you for this!
great performance, as always

My daughter said, "that sounds nice. It looks easy." I whispered, "that's how good he is."
Hahaha! Tell you daughter that this was take number 26!
But that's what happens when you haven't been practicing 😭
@@aarongrooves Aaron grooves Why be Practiced
Tell me AroonGrooves
When the world needed him most, he returned.
This would be a great ringtone, the bad news is I would never answer a call.
You could always put it on Vibraphone when it rings.
@@securityrobot 😆 lol
As a cellist this is incredibly Enjoyable! Amazing Cover Aaron
Heyyy, thanks Ocarina Owl!
Wow 😍 so beautiful!
Anita Diaries, thanks! And whoa, congrats on 200K subs!! :o :o :o
Good to see that legendary afro is still going strong.
Listen man, I don't know how I found you. But I subscribed when I saw you do the spin move on another video. Now every time I see one of your videos in my feed I get a little dose of joy. Your love for your instrument and music is infectious.
The Marimba just sounds so satisfying.
4:40am in Italy and that's like a sunrise!
We should really be sleeping lol
But this is the best thing to listen to when falling asleep
05:15 from Finland!
Why is everyone sleeping on this?
Our man here did a rendition of a timeless classical on an peculiar instrument
This is so good!
To be fair, this isn’t a peculiar instrument. Collegiate percussionists have been playing Bach on the marimba for decades, specifically his cello suites
@@克立张 agreed!
@@克立张 Absolutely! I'm glad marimba is becoming more popular. And very glad to help expand its exposure!
Love J.S. Bach, I love the way you preformed, nice job, man. I will want to learn so many instruments just like you. Keep it up and keep on inspiring many like myself!!!
Glad you tried a song at a more relaxed pace! So happy seeing this in my recommended :)
Excellent! Peaceful. This is what the world needs right now. Thank you! 🙏🏽💗🙏🏽
He’s like the black bob ross of music he puts out an unkillable vibe that you can watch for days
Your comment wins 1st place! Congratulations Champ! 🏆🎉
Yeah ok, but he's also like the Bob Ross of music. 😆😆
Who cares if he's black. Weird to add it.
(Unless English isn't your first language. We wouldn't usually say someone's the 'white' or 'black' unless they do the same thing, like painting or making music.)
@@BoogieBoogsForever Chill. Stop focusing on color so much. This isn't a BLM séance.
@@Liu-Kang-Xi So just to be clear, you commented on a racial comment that it "wins 1st place," and then you told the person who is against racial comments to stop focusing on color so much. Then you needlessly -- and unprovoked -- insulted an organization fighting against systemic racism. 😵
@Bob the tomao, I don't think you meant to be racist, just fyi. I appreciate your compliment. Thx for the kind words! I do agree with @Boogie that skin color shouldn't matter. I don't know if you regularly comment on the skin color of "white" youtubers, but I've been called black at least a few times per week for over 5 years now. Sometimes multiple times per day. It's relentless. It's not a pleasant experience. But I fully understand that this is a societal problem, and most are not trying to be mean. That's why I'm commenting here. To help raise awareness.
So no hard feelings. Love you all, and thanks for your support!
@@aarongrooves he wasn’t attacking BLM. He was saying no need to get angry it wasn’t really a racist post.
This is one of my favorite pieces and let me tell you, this gave me CHILLS. Absolutely beautiful
Such a different but subtle vibe than cello. Absolutely beautiful!
Thanks bro. Loved it.
And thanks for bringing back the genius of Bach back again.
Great performance and a beautiful stereo capture!
So beautiful! I did not think the Marimba would suit this piece so nicely, and your fantastic playing certainly helped it along :)
I must admit that I love your version of this prelude... it feels really smooth ! I'm certain that if Bach would have heard you... he would have composed music for the marimba !!!
Greetings from Brazil, you are amazing, the sound of marimba is perfect, i could be listening this for hours
Came for your video game covers but it’s cool to see you do other stuff
I started tearing up instantly. I’m pleasantly surprised that I could so moved by this piece on the marimba. Thank you so much. I’ll be rooting for you get your own marimba too!
BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!
You, sir, have fantastic dynamic control!
So rare to hear someone make the Marimba sing so beautifully as that performance! Bravo!
He's totally...vibing! If ya know what I mean😉
it do be vibing music
Sounds like one of my past phone ring tones. Soothing 😊
Well done, Aaron; beautiful playing. And I'm stoked to see which marimba you get this year. I'm curious, what was your mic set up for this? The video sounds great
This is peaceful! Keep up the good work! Still waiting on that Sonic Video! 💯
If I had a marimba, you would never see me again :-). So beautiful! Thank you!
Very happy to hear that you're getting a marimba. I would love to hear much, much more of you on this instrument! Great job with this piece.
Bach is so awesome that this iconic
piece is beautiful on a cello o classical guitar (my instrument) or a marimba .....or even a kazoo.
Thank you so much for all of the effort and time it took you to make this for us. It was wonderful 👍❤🌷👏🎼🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵😊
Crazy good talent on this video. Kudos and keep shining!
Incredible interpretation. This seriously is up there with the best of the best on any instrument, I mean that. Extremely successful result right here. You've really given a ton of life to it, tons of sensitivity and fun here. Would LOVE to hear more of the Cello Suites. Also, obligatory mention of the Chaconne - there actually is a Marimba transcription out there and at least one video of it. I know you could handle it and I'm sure it would be tremendous.
Beautiful!! Dynamics, phrasing incredible. What kind of marimba are you playing? I loved the sound.
Even if it is not on a violin, TwoSetViolin NEEDS to see this!
You and your music are magnificently inspiring and your vibe is epidemic!
Cellist here who came here after listening to your wonderful soundtrack for Stickman vs Minecraft. Wow, you are so musical. I love your interpretation - you emphasise and connect phrases so effectively without having to change the tempo much, all while paying full attention to the voicing of certain notes and keeping the articulations so clear and equal. I pretty much instantly subscribed when I clicked this video. Thank you for presenting ideas to me that I can use when I play Bach Suite no. 1 Prelude as well.
Ho-se Kim, thank you so much!! It's a pleasure to meet another "cellist" lol. Hope to see you play some day!
Bravissimo, my dear sir! I read the score note by note as you played and it was such a delight! Gorgeous rendition! Tastefully placed fortepianos!
Beautifully soothing to one's spirit 🥰
Beautiful dynamics, played with sensitivity and restraint.
You play so wonderfully. Thank you for sharing this. I'm hoping one day I can get back to mallet percussion!!
Sounds Amazing!
Fantastic!
Nice
This song very calm for me. 😌
I like your song !!
👍...just beautiful....great talent...
Sounds great!
Nice stickings!
Edit: and beautiful playing of course.
Aaron, thanks for sharing, this is beautiful. 🎵☀️👏👏👏
I enjoined each and every second of this 😍 magnificent
Classical musicians know that you don't attempt to play Bach in public unless you're 100% confident because the Bach snobs will eat you alive if you mess up. 😂 Kudos to you. Leigh Stevens would be very proud 👌🏾
*Nom Nom Nom*
This is so great. #cultofthehummingbird
Thank you for your amazing music ! Why can’t music like THIS BE ON THE PUBLIC RADIO, instead of crappy music by cardi b or the weekend .
This is gorgeous. Thank you!
i played the sarabande from this suite on marimba for my scholarship audition. awesome stuff bro!
That's just badass. Nuff said.
Wonderful! Now the rest of the suite...and the other 5 suites!
Haha! I don't know if I have enough motivation for that
@@aarongrooves think of all the collections of Bach Cello Suites performances out there that are languishing without a marimba version!
La marimba es épica!!!
Epic
Wow! R e a l l y nice Bach! Thank you. It felt like it was originally composed for this instrument. Somewhere along the line I learned (and maybe misremembered in the interim . . . ) the Persian concept of originality is not who did something first, but who does it BEST, takes it the highest.
Espetacular!!!
Wonderful performance!
Thank you so much! Wonderful marimba! 🙂
Thank you for sharing your talent.
vibraphone and piano player here, when we gonna do a bach duet lol
That would be awesome! Which is your main axe?
I can almost see J.S. Bach looking down & saying, "WHOA!!!"(-or the Old German equivalent thereof) in awe & joy... thanks for this. I'm moving in under that marimba.
With my dog. & my phone. We are both small, & will move to one side if required.
Scuze me while I listen to this again a few thousand times...
🤩🎶🎵🎶🐺
Man your phrasing is so superb.
Could you do another one with softer mallets? Then I would be in heaven
👍👍! Gros boulot ! Bravo!
Musicians always impressed me
Very excellently played and marvelous recording. Very calming too.

Beautiful!!!
Bach would be pleased my friend. and I must say that by far, you outplayed that particular marimba. save up for your own. make recordings. win awards!
🎵🎶🎵
Great performance, but the resonance of the room is not great. Try repositioning the marimba relative to the walls (more distance)
Love it!🍓
love it
I love Bach and you did great!
Perfect!! 👏👏👏
Sounds so beutiful keep going m8
You are a gem 💎 and this music is making everything alright.
How can we help you get a Marimba?
You are graciously beautiful and so amazingly talented.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️
WOW😍
Well played!
Amazing!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I'm not a marimba fan. I've always hated the sound of it. But you did a spot on cover of a timeless classic with it so... respect!
Being a snob for a long time I thought only Yo-Yo Ma could play the cello suites. Boy how wrong you can be. Thank you.
beautiful rendering!!
I love your videos
I love Bach!!!!!!!
LingLing 40Hours!!!!!!!!!!!
-CLASSICAL MUSIC FAN-
Are those the new mallets ? Amazing playing, sometimes the impact drowns a bit the note (particularly in low notes) but other than that, it’s amazing !!
Congraaaats ! Your’re the best ^^
; )
Very beautiful!
WOWWW
This is beautiful and so relaxing!
La perfection
You are so talented and amazing! Bravo! Bach is our favorite!!! Thank you
Man 😍😍😍 It was soooo gooooood 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I'm really trying to understand the dislikes 🤦🏾♂️
Bach 😍 amazing !
A great way to start my day!
