It turns out that the seven Toccata that JS Bach composed were early works for the harpsichord rather than the Organ and so it was not surprising that they responded well to our percussion treatments. They join our popular versions of Schumann and Widor's famous Toccata on a dedicated page.
Although we used Steel Drums and Marimba in every case the precise arrangements varied to suit the nature of the piece and a Vibraphone augmented the mix in all but 6 and 7 and in No5 Ocarinas proved body, particularly to the sustained notes.
These pieces were created with the aid of our new Creamware DSP audio card which is so feature rich we are only just beginning to get to grips with it. Still settling down to an optimum configuration but very pleased with the quality of the sounds it produces.
Here is a longer than usual LoFi streaming sample from our arrangement of Toccata No7 by JS Bach so that you can get some appreciation of what we have been up to and perhaps be tempted to purchase the full HiFi MP3 file for 0.99$(US).
