Everything sounds musical and lovely, but I think I like the tongue clicks best!

....as always!

The tone of your vocals here &mdash 03/02/08 - 09:47:33 AM
remind me of the chase scenes from Butch Cassiday and the Sundance Kid movie. There is almost a Burt Bachrach quality to this arrangement, even though it is still steeped in its own classic glory. Great vocals to go with a cool percussion arrangement and that bass back there is walking like a monster!

Bouree... &mdash 03/02/08 - 10:14:50 AM
I've always loved this piece. The first time I heard it was by Jethro Tull.
I love the way you've worked it with that intro like a horseman coming into town and then all the percussion working their way. Lovely vocals as usual.

Nice take ... &mdash 03/02/08 - 12:30:25 PM
on the classic. I'm a BIG fan of Bach and this is by far one of the most original renditions I've heard.

Nice Job.

magically delightful &mdash 03/02/08 - 02:59:41 PM
Andreas, I love your whimsy. What a great idea, and very beautifully executed. You have a remarkably versatile voice (and a syncopated tongue!) and you've made a sweet piece by Bach into something very fun and whimsical... and you stopped yourself from going overboard and making it overly silly, it is perfectly fun.
ttfn,
Drakonis

in my heart this little ditty, I used to play Ian Anderson's version till the sun came up, but now it will be your version, the Jazzy bass and drums are absolutely fab...Wonderful...

[ Reply to This ]
Hahaha... &mdash 03/02/08 - 08:29:42 PM
...I was trying to decide on posting Bourree or Canarios (Sanz)...this is a tough act to follow...very, very cool...I love this tune...I love this interpretation...

Oh this is wonderful Andreas &mdash 03/02/08 - 09:29:36 PM
You are bringing classical music to a whole new audience with this kind of work. And you do your craft so very well Maestro Andreas, it is hard to put into words how brilliant this piece is.

The combination of your excellent vocals and the tongue clicks, with the more modern sounds of the bass and drums is an beautiful combination. Thank you for sharing this with us my friend.
Be well and continue to astound us with this work of yours.

the 1st classical pieces I ever learned on guitar.Amazing version.Have you heard Tenacious D(w/Jack Black)do it? "This is Bach and it rocks..."

Dees basst ma! &mdash 03/02/08 - 11:38:22 PM
Es tut mir Leid Andreas aber ich weiss kein mehr Bairisch. Or a real lot of German for that matter ;)

Great post - I first heard Bouree on Jethro Tull's "Living in the Past" and have always enjoyed it in many different interpretations - this being one of the more original. Well recorded and well sung and played. Ich gratuliere dich!
