don't give a hoot if it's "authentic", really like this freer rhythmic approach to the inventions tempo & ornaments. beautiful. (<;

Poetic License:  Yes and yes! Otherwise i would be under musical arrest from the musical powers that be. I enjoyed your interpretation.

A Baroque piece infused with romantic tempo. I like it!

well this is quite a Romantic approach to Baroque music Paul. But beautiful done! Like Glenn Gould I share his opinion that everyone has the possibility to interpret Bach in his own way, just because this music is universal. The only restriction is that it must be musically convincing. I think you did the right! bravo! 🎶🌹🎻

Beautiful imaginative playing, everything flows greatly

you bring out the emotion inherent in the music. best ignore any baroque style "authenticity" police. no one knows how JSB really might have played it. i love this. (<;

Extraordinary play with lyrical statements in the interpretation of Bach

Here are the Liner Notes for this CD.

In the depths of musical exploration, where genre boundaries dissolve and creativity reigns supreme, emerges Shekinah Fire – a dynamic collaboration between improvisational pianist Gary Courtland-Miles and guitarist Tim Elliot. With their debut album, "Beyond Belief," they invite listeners on an exhilarating journey through a fusion of classical, jazz, and orchestral improvisational music.

Over the course of the past year, Courtland-Miles and Elliot have forged a partnership grounded in mutual trust, an unspoken agreement in spirit, and a fearless willingness to 'fall off musical cliffs together.' The result? Over 40 unique and passionately crafted compositions that defy categorization and transcend conventional reference points.

At the heart of Shekinah Fire's music lies a palpable sense of wonder, freshness, and authenticity. Each track unfolds with an undeniable sense of spontaneity, guided by the duo's intuitive connection and shared musical vision. Whether navigating intricate melodies or delving into soul-stirring improvisations, Courtland-Miles and Elliot infuse every note with heart and soul.

Recorded at "The Living Room" in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, "Beyond Belief" captures the raw energy and excitement of Shekinah Fire's live performances. Using only one stereo microphone, the album preserves the intimate atmosphere of the room, inviting listeners to immerse themselves fully in the magic of the moment.

Through a blend of electric and acoustic pianos and guitars, Courtland-Miles and Elliot weave a sonic tapestry that is as captivating as it is transcendent. Each composition is a testament to the duo's boundless creativity and unwavering commitment to artistic exploration.

So, dear listener, heed the call to adventure. Let go of preconceived notions and surrender to the spellbinding allure of Shekinah Fire's "Beyond Belief." For in the realm of music that is 'beyond belief,' there are no limits – only endless possibilities waiting to be discovered.

Here's the 'abridged version' of Beyond Belief. Part One, so to speak.

As with most of our improvised music, it starts where Belief gives way to the Experience of Being in the moment and engaging in Deep Listening.

We trust you'll enJoy this latest of the 'musical conversations' Tim Elliot and I delight in whenever we have the chance.

Better Days

Relatively compliant with Johann’s score (so far as you know)….poetic licence (ie a coach and horses) appear to have been driven through certain measures (and to a lesser extent, dynamic range notation), in response to which I rely upon, by way of mitigation, the excuse that Rubato made me do it(rhythmic shaping and/or contortion of tempo within the otherwise static/prescriptive confines of selectively iterated measures). Can roses grow, from the ashes of my Rubato sins? Read on.

Part II (not yet posted) will comprise variations on this same piece. Fasten your seatbelt. Estimated completion date 20 July 2023.

I heard variations singing in my mind, when rubato ran amok. Hopefully it will all make sense when the variations are complete, though in all likelihood, it will not (make sense).

Inspired by a miraculous performance of JS Bach by French composer pianist and flautist Douvin. Your time is better spent hearing Douvin's piece, which is here, the work of a true master. J'adore Douvin. Everything he does is breathtakingly beautiful.
