MaestroMarvel Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 It was written back before Bach was even living. Any of you familiar with it? My orchestra is playing it and I really like it... well... for what it is... Any thoughts? Quote
SSC Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 Fantastic piece. Really spectacular! I think Biber is pretty neat overall but this just takes the cake... though of course I'm referring to the famous section with the melodies, but hell it's just great he did that. Also check out Biber's extended techniques for strings, totally awesome stuff! Quote
MaestroMarvel Posted March 24, 2009 Author Posted March 24, 2009 I love the double bass "snare drum" effect in the march movement... And the cannon shot effect... Quote
MaestroMarvel Posted April 15, 2009 Author Posted April 15, 2009 Fantastic piece. ... though of course I'm referring to the famous section with the melodies... , totally awesome stuff! Do you mean the seven key " Profligate Society of Common Humour " ? Quote
MaestroMarvel Posted May 10, 2009 Author Posted May 10, 2009 Exactly, Magna Carta. The magnificence of Biber's work is that it was so... after his time. He reminds me greatly of Ives. He was even before Bach, which really amazed me. Quote
