Bach-analia

For mixed ensemble c.5'40. Suitable for intermediate to advanced ensembles
Violin, cello, oboe, piano or harpsichord and flexible string ensemble.

The play on words in the title of this piece has the piece beginning with a homage to J. S. Bach, clearly derived from his C minor Prelude BWV 847. From there, the music drifts inexorably into something much more free and increasingly ecstatic, as though, through intoxication with music, the players have entered a time warp to the modern day. As the ecstasy subsides, we are back in Bach's time, but the lure of modern music cannot be resisted, and we find ourselves in a second round of ecstasy.
Composed 2003
