BACH EVERYDAY

​

 

On March 19th, 2020 I started recording a Bach Chorale a day from my NYC apartment as the city sheltered in place for Covid-19. After recording all the chorales from the St. John Passion for Easter, 2020, Bach Everyday soon morphed into something more expansive; including a movement from every Bach Cantata in order of BWVs, the 6 parts of the Christmas Oratorio BWV 248 for the holiday season, The Magnificat, Art of the Fugue, Two-Part Inventions, the Sarabandes from the 6 Cello Suites, and for her finale, the B Minor Mass.

​

During the pandemic, the ritual of recording helped give me structure and sanity. Everyday, I recorded a movement from the next cantata, the next piece, originally picking the four part plain chorale at the end and soon recording full multi-track works. This means I would spend my morning engraving/arranging the chorale for my instruments depending on the key, range, and my mood and then I use the app Acapella and my iq6 zoom mic to record each part on my iPhone. The best parts of creating Bach Everyday have been living with these lush complex harmonies, diving deep into each new cantata and exploring Bach's musical language, and interacting with listeners around the world! 

​

Have you enjoyed watching these chorales? As a classical musician, all of my live concerts for the foreseeable future have gone online and I'd very much appreciate your support. Here are a couple ways you can support me. Thank you!
