Book/Online Audio Guitar
Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750). Arranged by Mark Phillips. Easy Guitar. Classical. Softcover Audio Online. With guitar tablature. 76 pages. Published by Cherry Lane Music (HL.2501703).

Item Number: HL.2501703

ISBN 9781603783804. 9.0x12.0x0.245 inches.

In the early 1700s, Bach's chorales enchanted listeners with their inventive harmonies, chromaticism, contrapuntal motion, and changes of tonal center. Since that time, music students the world over have studied the chorales as a paragon of "common practice" harmony and voice leading. And by virtue of their sublime beauty, musicians continue to perform the chorales to this day. The four-part texture of the chorales can make their performance on guitar - with its fingering limitations - somewhat problematic. But by sometimes thinning the texture to three or two parts, and sometimes inverting the lower parts (allowing the alto or tenor to temporarily serve as the bass), we've created easy-to-play classical guitar solos that capture all the interest and beauty of Bach's original compostitions. The book also includes recordings of every piece. The audio is accessed online using the unique code inside each book and can be streamed or downloaded. The audio files include PLAYBACK+, a multi-functional audio player that allows you to slow down audio without changing pitch, set loop points, change keys, and pan left or right.

  • December 26, 2013 Excellent Bach Foundation for Beginners

    I got this book for Christmas and I'm so in luv with it I can't see straight. Each choral (hymn) is on one page. Simple and No awkward page turns. I found difference in my opinion and the editor suggestion on fingering, otherwise the fingering is pretty good...

    . The CD is a nice reference on how the pieces should sound. Nicely done.Great foundation to learn Bach and prepare for more challenging pieces such as 'Sheep Graze, Jesu and Sleepers Awake' Also great for gigs and churchIf you're a beginning guitarist, you luv the Baroque period and want to learn Bach. I can't think of a better place to start.

  • December 16, 2012 70 Bach Chorales

    This book is every thing I hoped it would be for my level of ability which is average.The key is I love Bach's music on the guitar and even if I can't play a piece easily I still enjoy discovering Bach's beautiful sounds.I would recommend...

    this for a relative beginner as they can dip in and out as they please and just enjoy the beautiful chords and tones of Bach's music.The ability level is very consistant throughout.If you can play the first you could play the lot.Some are a little more challenging then others and these are usually the nicer pieces.All in all a beautiful collection of simplified Bach music which I am really enjoying.Don't like the guitar on the cover though,doesn't fit with the music inside!
