Not On Lockdown

Done as an exercise, this chorale is a reharmonization of J.S. Bach's BWV 264 "Als der gütige Gott".  I took the original soprano melody line given to Bach by the church and composed my own harmonization for the other three voices (alto, tenor, bass) as he once did.  I then compare mine to Bach's to learn from the great master.  Of course, nothing and no one compares to Bach.  But I have done this many times and it is a great learning experience.

I'm a passionate part-time composer who's trying to share his work with others.  All of the works that I have here on Soundcloud are completely original compositions that have been composed by me with no samples or AI generated content whatsoever.  The only exceptions would be the Bach reharmonizations, where the melody comes from the same source as the original, and my solo piano arrangement of the Charlie Chaplin classic "Smile".
