[今天是巴赫的生日] 10个有趣的巴赫音乐油管

今天是巴赫的生日, 准备带孩子去一个教堂参加庆祝活动，她也很喜欢巴赫， 这个教堂也是与巴赫同时代的。

无意中碰到了这些有趣的油管， 让我吃惊的是 ： 如今大红大紫的美国流行歌手 Lady Gaga的一首歌《 Bad Romance 》中的旋律竟《偷》自巴赫的钢琴作品， 不得不令人赞叹巴赫音乐神明，几百年 前就把我们时代 张口想唱的音乐旋律一笔搞定了。

Lady Gaga是21世纪某个时段的流行，几百年来真正的《流行》音乐还是这些久经不衰的古典音乐，尤其是巴赫的音乐，巴赫的音乐可以让人静思， 也可以让人兴高彩烈， 甚至手舞足蹈，  这是为什么呢？ 






 

10 weird and wonderful Bach video parodies

Bach on a train, Bach in a forest, Bach played by a man in a muppet suit. As if you needed an excuse to watch ten incredible Baroque-inspired videos...

1. Bach meets the Muppets
Thanks to an over-enthusiastic cleaner and a rogue feather duster, this muppet's Bach is worse than his bite. (Sorry.) Still, props to the musician who's managed to memorise the music and play it whilst sporting a full-body dog suit.

2. Bach on the dancefloor
Bach. On a flashing keyboard. Played by two blokes in a shopping centre. With their feet. That's our dance mat rendered obsolete, then.

3. Bach on a glass harp
As if Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor wasn't creepy enough. Swapping the booming organ for the eerie glass harp, this impressive percussionist is guaranteed to send chills down your spine. Although we can't help thinking our friend Bach would've preferred something a little stronger in those glasses…

4. Bach… multitracked
This is what happens when you let a Mr Bean lookalike loose with a webcam and Bach score. Odd. Yet strangely compelling.

5. Bach meets jazz
When it comes to jazzing up Bach's mighty Organ Fugue, it doesn't come better than the Grammy Award-winning Swingle Singers. The metallic dresses and crazy perms are just a bonus. 

6. Bach on a Japanese forest xylophone
If Bach plays in a forest, and there's no one around to hear it, does it make a sound? We'll give you a clue: it does - and it's remarkably like the Cantata 147. Prepare to be amazed.

7. Bach on a Möbius strip
If you were in any doubt as to Bach's genius, just take a look at this mathematical masterpiece. Read the music left to right for a seemingly simple Baroque tune. Read it backwards, and it's verging on impressive. But when you transcribe the music onto the one-sided, one-edged surface known as a Möbius strip, you can play the two parts together at the same time for ETERNITY. 

8. Bach on the train
If only every morning commute could be like this. From now on, we're ditching the laptop and the latte to indulge in an entire train carriage of cellists performing Bach's Cello Suite No. 1. Doesn't look like it makes finding a seat any easier though.

9. Bach on the tuba
On paper, this just shouldn't work. Poor old J.S. is no doubt spinning in his grave at the suggestion of turning his flighty Cello Suite No. 1 into a lumbering tuba duet, but we'll be honest: this is awesome.

10. Bach… and a Lady Gaga fugue
Lady Gaga borrows music from Bach's Well Tempered Clavier in her 2009 hit Bad Romance. (Hear us out on this one.) Some bright spark played Gaga at her own game and composed a Bach-inspired fugue using 'Bad Romance' as the subject. Add a healthy dose of video trickery and a carefully created MIDI file, and voila: a full orchestra, playing a Lady Gaga Bach fugue. Genius.
