contemporary classical piece

Tue Oct 27, 2015 8:02 am

It's been quite some time since I posted a video. I have been studying on this copedent for about a year now. It is an adaptation of a 12string C6 tuning that I found Buddy Emmons has tried out at some time. Older topic about this copedent on the US Forum is here. I find it to be very versatile. I play all kinds of stuff on it: country, swing, jazz,... But for those who want to hear something really fresh, I recorded this piece by contemporary Belgian composer Karel Van Marcke. He wrote it for piano solo, but I think it does very well on steel. The title "Bachapel" is referring to two insparations for this piece, J.S. Bach and J.Pachelbel.
The score is displayed along with the video of me playing it. Comments welcome.

Wonderful! Great playing too. Proves the versatility of the instrument. Good title too - the influences of the two composers works really well.
Post more, please, JanO :D

Excellent JanO,
I've never heard anything like that on psg. That's a very interesting field you're ploughing there, I hope you'll put up more. Thanks for posting.

Buddy Emmons used this, or a similar, 12 string tuning on his recording of Pachelbel's Canon in D major. Winnie Winston pushed the boundaries too and, here in UK, so does BJ.
Well done and a welcome change of genre. :D
