In this spirit, Dr. Peter Folliard presents The Bach Initiative, a collection of twenty-six wonderful Bach chorales for instrumental ensembles of any type, size, or level.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Bach Initiative\u003c\/em\u003e includes each chorale in its original four-part harmonization for all members of the ensemble, giving instrumentalists the unique yet important opportunity to see the full score - and to better understand how each part interacts with the whole. As a result, players naturally develop greater awareness, sensitivity, and intuition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe chorales are intentionally transcribed for flexibility, so any individual may play any part at any time. And while the pedagogical applications are virtually endless, Folliard provides more than a dozen creative variations for rehearsing these chorales that are certain to enhance multiple aspects of ensemble musicianship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Bach Initiative\u003c\/em\u003e also offers pedagogical information, including insightful scholarship about intonation, instrument ranges, and appropriate articulation. Folliard also provides a succinct discussion of chord analysis, non-chord tones, and voice leading.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe undisputed quality and relative brevity of the Bach chorales make them perfect for the rehearsal room and the concert hall. And the convenient and creative way in which they are presented in \u003cem\u003eThe Bach Initiative\u003c\/em\u003e is certain to inspire new levels of musicianship in bands, orchestras, and other instrumental ensembles of all levels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCheck out this video of the wind ensemble at The Copland School of Music at Queens College reading a chorale from \u003cem\u003eThe Bach Initiative\u003c\/em\u003e without a conductor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003ePublisher\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eGIA Publications\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eComposer\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eJohann Sebastian Bach\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eBinding\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eSoftcover\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003ePages\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e48\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eStock code\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eG9971\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn-store pickup available.
