- For the most part, ever since MuseScore 4 was released roughly a year ago, I have abstained from using it on account of a long list of relatively minor inconveniences, chief amongst them the complete removal of smooth panning/scrolling options. In formatting my videos, I had thus far fully relied on this functionality present in MuseScore 3, and it was truly a shame to find out in dismay that the current version of MuseScore 4 does not support this rather useful feature (albeit low in demand and acknowledgement by most MuseScore users).
However, it remains undeniable that its integrated MuseSounds library is on all regards quite superior to the orchestral soundfonts I have in my possession. As such, I decided to tinker a bit with my latest fugue in order to produce an orchestral arrangement thereof, which was to be rendered into sound by the MuseStrings sublibrary. And to be entirely honest, the results forth presented have not disappointed me in the slightiest.

This fugue is as good,as dramatic,as unexpected as Bach did.Very inspired and mastered work.I will load it in my playlist.
Very nice fugue, will sound great on keyboard, or any quartett as well. Viva contrapunctus!
For the keyboard version, check out this video: ruclips.net/video/N6mq_R4VZ48/видео.htmlsi=5Kl9RtKRoRhTDbN2
Pues tal cual, suena excelente tambien en clave. Es lo absoluto de la musica con contrapunto, vale por el juego entre las voces y no por la orquestacion o la gran belleza de una voz sola. Y en eso la fuga es reina. Viva el contrapunto! Muchas gracias por el link!
Absolutely excellent work as always. Incredible that you're skilled at orchestration as well as composition!
Oh how wonderful this fugue is! It is the first time I hear the "fugal art" living and breathing after Johann Sebastian Bach demise. As has been said before in a commentary below, you manage to compose not only fugues that obey the "rules" but simultaneouly beautiful fugues. Therein lied the true genius of J. S. Bach.
If it didn't sound condescending coming from me as a poorly gifted lay musician, I would congratulate you for your work (!). Therefore I rather say I truly rejoice at seeing that JSB after all has a true disciple and heir in you!
P.S.: You might want to check out the RUclips channel "Dirk Schneiderheinze" for he uses wonderful sounds for his orchestrations, namely "Music notation / playback: Sibelius Ultimate + NotePerformer".
sounds like Stokowski , I love it
NICE!
WOW!!!!!
Sounds more like Romantic neo-Baroque(such as in religious works of Berlioz and Verdi for example). Good work certainly it is, regardless.
This is absolutly gorgeous! I want to learn the keyboard version and play it using an organ or harpsichord soundfont
If my interpretation isn't an absolutely disgrace and if you dont mind, i plan on upload it on my channel at some point in the future

This is the first time (in my opinion) after Johann Sebastian Bach that someone composes not only "correct" but also beautiful fugues! 🙏🙏🙏
I sincerely thank you for your comments and praise, although I should probably point out that no, this is not the first time since J. S. Bach's passing that such contrapuntal feats have been achieved.
@@FugaxContrapunctus Maybe so. I had Mozart's fugues in mind, which I found rather boring and dry, or Beethoven's so-called Große Fugue op. 133, which I found a torment and simply horrible. I also recall about more than a dozen of continuations to JSB's unfinished Contrapunctus XIV, some of which by quite famous people, but none of which I found satisfying. These examples might fulfill the requirements of a "correctly" composed fugue and counterpoint, but none of them reaches JSB's beautiful fugal art. Since we are talking about a rather subjective criterion("beauty"), I think nobody, not even you, can apodictically claim that a certain beauty has ever been reached again or not.
@@PFunk-vf1nh Interestingly, your assertion that nobody can claim whether a certain level of beauty in fugal writing has ever been achieved or not ever since the times of J. S. Bach must also apply to your own opinions about my music. As for me, I refuse to believe that my humble fugues could ever come close to the unmatched beauty and unsurmountable complexity of those composed by Bach himself, a bizarre notion I've encountered often times before and countered with as much determination as I'm doing now. A sentiment which also applies to contrapuntal works by Mozart and Beethoven, both of whom I have come to deeply respect in their own particular treatment of counterpoint within some of their own most unique works.
I may sometimes have issues with my ego, but my admiration for the old masters is absolutely more powerful and important to me than my own self-image. Of course, your opinions are fair and valid, but I will not share them, for I consider that my music is not even remotely close to the artistic grandeur of the great composers of our past, and will most likely never be.
@@FugaxContrapunctus Of course my opinion about what is beautiful or not is subjective too.
Not withstanding your thoughts, I maintain what I said about Mozart's and Beethoven's attempts and about the extraordinary level of a number of your fugues I already listened too. You wouldn't be the first great person having a too modest opinion about yourself. It honours you, but I consider your work superior. Great, in fact!
Oh, the best part in Mozarts famous Requiem is the 4 voice fugue. To me, the most beautiful and dramatic minutes.
