The Bach Chorales are ultimate examples of melodies creating harmonies, the parts coming together to form a whole. They are also great examples of a musician taking a melody and making a new arrangement of it, like jazz musicians do today. This piece is a combination of two chorale melodies that Bach arranged, originally based on hymns by 16th-century composer Paul Eber. For context, Bach set the melody around 200 years after it was written, and I re-worked the melodies with my own harmonies nearly 300 years after that.

The first job I had when I moved back to Ottawa from Boston was as a church pianist. At one point there was a two-month stretch where I was in charge of programming the instrumental music we played, and I challenged myself to come up with new arrangements every week- the way Bach would have in his time, just on a much smaller scale. This was a terrific creative outpouring of music for me, and it renewed my enormous respect for the church music community and the work involved.

For this piece I took two seemingly unrelated chorales (they are actually from the same Cantata, BWV 127) and attached them, using their distant keys of A Major and F Major to set up an interesting modulation halfway through. I had to actively try out some more modern harmonic progressions to take the overall sound of the piece further away from Bach's version. One of my favourite moments is when you finish the C major resolution and then repeat back into F# Minor at the top for improvising. In the solo piano version this surprising cut doesn't occur unless you take a second pass through the piece, so I encourage you to try repeating the piece even if you don't feel comfortable embellishing or changing anything the second time around.

I was very taken by Ferruccio Busoni’s transcription of J.S. Bach’s Chorale Preludes for organ. I am not familiar with the original version mainly because I don’t enjoy listening to organ music; except when it is in a jazz context, like Jimmy Smith and Joey DeFrancesco.

Using Busoni’s version as a model I re-did all nine of his Bach Chorale Preludes in my fashion and then I realized that I needed three more to make a nice simple dozen.  So I looked at Max Reger’s transcriptions of the Bach Chorale Preludes and found three that would fit into my twelve-movement work.

I. Andante … Komm, Gott Schöpfer, heiliger Geist

II. Adagio … Wachet aufm ruft uns die Stimme

III. Andante … Nun komm’ der Heiden Heiland

IV. Presto … Nun freut euch, lieben Christen, g’mein

V. Largo … Ich ruf’ zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ

VI. Moderato … Herr Gott, nun schleuß den Himmel auf

VII. Largo … Durch Adams Fall ist ganz verderbt

VIII. Allegro … In dir ist Freude

IX. Adagio … Jesus Christus, unser Heiland

X. Moderato … O Mensch, bewein’ dein’ Sünde groß

XI. Presto … Ach wie nichtig, ach wie flüchtig

XII. Largo … Christ lag in Todesbanden

Enjoy!!!
