    The organists on Temple Square-Richard Elliott, Andrew Unsworth, Brian Mathias, Linda Margetts, and Joseph Peeples- play the final movement of Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, BWV 1048, arranged for five organists by Richard Elliott. This is performed on the 1993 Casavant Frères organ in the chapel of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building in Salt Lake City-the first time this organ has been featured in an organ broadcast from Temple Square.
    Piping Up! host, Luke Howard's, Focus on the Music message:
    The story around Bach and his Brandenburg Concertos is fascinating. It’s a story of missed opportunities, of doing one’s best work only to be overlooked or forgotten, of wondering if the grass really is greener somewhere else. At some point in our lives we’ve all lived through a version of this story.
    In 1721, Sebastian Bach dedicated an ornate and elaborately-presented score of six orchestral concertos to Christian Ludwig, the Margrave of Brandenburg. At the time, Bach’s current employment was becoming increasingly vulnerable, and he was looking elsewhere for a more stable position. He probably intended this collection of scores as a job application, hoping to gain new employment at the Margrave’s court in Berlin.
    In a rather obsequious dedication letter, Bach apologized for his “little talent” and begged the Margrave not to judge too harshly the “imperfection” of these pieces. Now, to be clear, these Brandenburg concertos are considered some of the finest, most innovative orchestral works of the entire baroque era. But Bach never heard back from the Margrave of Brandenburg. He was never offered a position in Berlin. After the Margrave died, these scores were found sitting on a shelf in his library, apparently unused.
    From our point of view, if not perhaps from Bach’s, this might have been for the best. Two years later, Bach accepted a posting as Kantor at the Thomaskirche in Leipzig, where he would produce most of his sacred vocal music: the truly profound church cantatas, several breathtaking settings of the Passion, the awe-inspiring Mass in B minor. We don’t know what compositions Bach would have written had he been offered employment at the Brandenburg court. But we do know what he wouldn’t have written if he’d never gone to Leipzig.
    In the hymn “God Moves in A Mysterious Way,” William Cowper declared that as God’s divine purposes unfold, “The bud may have a bitter taste, but sweet will be the flower.” I’m sure Bach felt some bitterness at his rejection by the Margrave of Brandenburg-those were really magnificent concertos that he’d sent along. And Bach was never really happy with his job in Leipzig, either. But we can see now, with hindsight, the glorious flower that emerged from such a bitter setback. For hundreds of years, the world has been wonderfully blessed to have Bach’s sacred vocal music. But that only happened because the equally wonderful Brandenburg Concertos were, for a time, ignored and forgotten.

    How did you do it? Click track? Or did each successive organist play to the previous organist's recordings?

  • @CrystalCountess
    @CrystalCountess 2 года назад

    I have to wonder what they're all listening to that gives them their frame of reference for timing so that they're all synchronized. These parts had to have been all recorded separately and not ensemble as they're all playing the same instrument. Was there a conductor before them, when they each recorded, wearing headphones for a timing reference?
