Never Gonna Give You Up...but it's a fugue
Never Gonna Give You Up...but it's a 4-voice fugue! I composed this fugue on "Never Gonna Give You Up", the famous 80's pop song by Rick Astley. I changed some pitches of the subject to make it more Bachian, with tonal harmony for a better counterpoint. But I used some non-stylistic voice-leading, for example some unresolved sevenths, that make a modern sound. And welcome back Organ sound from Musescore! Headphones recommend. As always, don't take this fugue too much seriously. But let me know if you liked it in the comments.
P.S. The final Bb in the pedal part and also at measure 22 doesn't exist as written, it should be an octave higher, sorry I forgot to transpose it during the video editing. As well as other passages in the pedal part, which are too complicated, they need to be moved on the manual.
I love composing fugues with pop/meme subjects. For more content and "meme fugues" like that, share the video and subscribe youtube.com/@jackyyi_01?featu...

I am amazed that you came up with this before the other fugue was written, well done.
I will save this for the right moment - when the situation requires a very dignified and epic Rick-roll. Thank you.

I appreciate that this video started with the chorus, so we get an idea of how fugue is built off of it... but there really needs to be a longer version of this (even if barely) with an intro that takes the listener off guard until the melody hits them.

We’re no strangers to Bach.
Another example of how all contemporary western music, from show tunes of the 30s and 40s, to jazz, to pop, to even heavy metal owes so much to Bach.

In order for this to breathe new life into the art of rickrolling, it really needs to be happy/triumphant. Please major-ify it! Wicked cool as it is, though.

It’s my main obsession on electric guitar.
Changing my will to request a performance of this at my memorial.
Never gonna vote you down, never gotta close this tab or report you!
Astounding! So that's what Rick S. Bach sounds like.
As someone who's studied 18th century harmony, this totally cracked me up! Well done!
It would be oddly appropriate if someone rickrolled a wedding with this instead of playing the usual "here comes the bride" processional.
Bishop: I sympathize with the plight of this temptation, but please don't.

"Umineko no naku koro ni" has some nice fugues in its soundtrack.
Liking the end basso sostenuto. This is the best introduction to the method of fugue I've ever seen. If you're musical enough to construct one (and I think plenty of people are), you can come up with a completely new piece every weekend, as I know a certain gentleman in Leipzig had to do in order to earn his living.
I wrote a parody arrangement of Never Gonna Give You Up for piano and violin with three sections: the first is based on the opening of Bach's Italian Concerto no. 1; the second (scherzo) is a polyrhythmic version of the main song; the third is a fast counterpoint section. I have been delaying publishing it for a couple months because I felt like I needed to write a fugue section, but I struggled to get anywhere with it. Now I feel like I don't have to and can just publish what I have already composed.
"Jolly good show!" - pops
THIS IS BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!
I'm fan of both, Astley and Bach. So this is just perfect! 🤩
Beautifull fuggue, I am pleased to be rickrolled this way!
Hahahaaa, WONDERFUL! Thanks for all of the work you put into this, not insignificant!
This is utterly terrifying
This is fuguelicious! Awesome & clever cover. I suspect that J.S. Bach would give this an A+.
_Very_ clever and _inventive._ Bravo! 👏
Found this on Easter Sunday. Feels just right.
I am speechless. With laughter and respect.
Best version of the song I've heard
This is more fun to listen to than the original song. Thank You!
LOVE does not begin to describe my reaction to this video. This made my year! Thank you. ❤

A fugue commitment's what I'm looking for...

"Fairest good tidings to thee, O treasured Horatio, for I haveth dost importantest message, to be listened upon with all possible dispatch. Thou needeth only to apply the utmost vigor, and clicketh on dost link."
Catchy tune.
Well done! Be glad you didn't have to play it yourself, it's set quite challenging... 😁
VOGLIO LO SPARTITO E' semplicemente fantastica. Mi intendo a malapena di armonia, contrappunto,composizione e fuga ma al semplice sentirla,da studente organista, ti dico WOW! Tra un Preludio e Fuga ed un altro del Maestro, al prossimo concerto pretendo di inserire pure questa.
You plumbed the musical depths of the anguished romance of the Rick himself. Classiest baroque Rickroll ever.
This is epic
I do hope they play that at Ashley’s memorial. I might haven’t at mine.
Someone's church is going to get Rickrolled with this.
