Just wrapped up another concert with the Contra Costa Chamber Orchestra, "Music That Stands the Test of Time." We did works that have been around for a while -- one for almost 300 years.
I got to play harpsichord for the Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 by Bach, with eleven solo players, one to a part. There's a GREAT recording here (wish we sounded this good!). ;) And you can hear the Really Scary Cool Super-Fast part here. There's a couple nice close-ups of the harpsichordist's hands at 1:08 and 2:20.
We also did several movements of the famous Water Music by Handel. It was fun to do such famous old pieces -- it's been used in ads, movies, even at Disney World. Can you imagine floating along on the Thames River, on your way to a fancy dinner, being serenaded by a bunch of musicians on boats? Rather elegant. ;)
