"Bach To Gospel" is a concept originated by Leon Harp, composer and pianist with a website, www.leonharp.com, hosted by mp3.com
The original intent was to perform classical compositions with religious compositions in concerts held in churches. The idea seemed exceptable with most people because classical compositions gave the artist a chance to be an artist. Any hymn performed was solely done with the improvisational talent of the artist WITHOUT REGARD TO DEVELOPMENT. Simply put, The song was played, once, twice or three times using improvisational skills.
And, people/artists wonder why pianists are "a dime a dozen?" They all sound alike, more or less! Even the jazz, or rock, or country pianist improvising hymns sound all alike. They are not giving their music identity. "Bach To Gospel" gives the artist identity. In short, songs performed are arrangements, not improvisations of the artist.
The artist must also be a composer to survive. He must be the artist/composer. It is not enough to be just an arranger of chords and patterns of music. Now, it becomes necessary to develop the themes of the songs performed.
The artist can improvise a development section on any song. But, it is probably better to become known for the same developed arrangement. Thusly, the concept "Bach to Gospel" creates an identity for the artist/composer creating value and and a better market for the music of the artist/composer.
The following song is an midi/mp3 example of "Bach To Gospel." Better examples of pure midi files, quickly played on your computer can be found at hotcoffeemusic.net or by clicking on artist's web site link on the left side of this page under the picture. Thank you!
