A very interesting arrangement...using only wind instruments. I have always been a big Bach fan. I am obviously much more used to this being played as an orchestral piece by strings and piano or harpsichord, or even as a chamber music piece. Of course, the original scoring for no. 3 was designed to be played by strings (violins, violas and cellos) and harpsichord. Nevertheless, this is an interestingly scored variation. Thanks for sharing.

Played trombone from 5th to 8th grade and was in a youth symphony so this brought back some memories. Was also in a drum and bugle Corp playing baritone.

I really enjoy the Song of the Day. I have always loved both playing and listening to music. It soothes the soul and gives me a nice way to counter some of the isolation necessitated by the pandemic. It is amazing how some people have rearranged music to create larger groups from only one performer. The talent in humanity never ceases to amaze me and keeps my faith in it going.

I have been going back through some of the song selections that I missed initially and just noticed your comment. I can relate to it as well. I played in a recorder band as part of our senior elementary school music programme. In junior high school I switched to percussion (snare, bass, tympani and glockenspiel).

When I got to high school they had a full roster of percussionists, so I switched to brass. I was always intrigued by the trumpet, but couldn't really get my embouchure tight enough to get a note out of it! I ended up on euphonium (baritone horn), with a little trombone occasionally, so somewhat similar to your experience.

My wife played the flute in a community marching band in high school. They were good enough to be invited to march in the Calgary Stampede parade one year.

I love the mix of music on here, since I have a pretty eclectic taste in music. I enjoy a wide range, everything from Gregorian chants and baroque, through classical and military marches, to pop and even some heavy metal.

It is nice knowing that Song Of The Day has gained a (small) following, here on & FaceBook. (A couple of other sites, too, but TUG-BBS & FaceBook are the main places -- same daily tune on all of'm.)

When we're away -- timesharing, hanging out at our dinky non-traveling travel trailer in Delaware, etc. -- Song Of The Day goes on hiatus. Not to worry -- I (usually) come back.

It was 40 years ago today that we lost one of the giants in music, when John Lennon was murdered outside The Dakota in NYC. You gave us so much great music, John. You have been missed and certainly not forgotten. RIP.
