A New Brandenburg
Johann Sebastian Bach's music is almost like another element, another building block in the chemistry of the world. Lots of artists have thrown a pinch or two of Bach into the fire and come up with some interesting new alloy. Count Rob Moose among them. Today we'll hear his new arrangement of Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, including parts for banjo, mandolin, and guitar.
