H
Ghosts of BrandenburgRichard Meyer.
Imagine a fantasy based on all six of the
"Brandenburg Concerti!" Not just a cute novelty,
but an entirely new work! It captures the spirit of
the "Brandenburgs," but sets most of them in minor
keys, or uses darker tones, pizzicato, and meter
changes J.S. Bach would never have imagined!
This is an inventive and challenging work that will
take your intermediate strings on an almost nine-
minute tour de force that will build their endurance
along with their musicality! Highly recommended for
concert and contest!
