Toccata and Fugue in D minor Meets Metal - Johann Sebastian Bach
Музыка
Well everyone,
It''s been 13 KZread Halloween Octobers on here that I've wanted to tackle this and here we are. So the whole thing is....long haha. Tons of options, but in the end I wanted it to be typical song length and relying heavily on the "minor" in d minor. When I studied Bach in college, my mans wrote so much music I think we spent almost a month on him. And just like many of the greats, I didn't change anything hardly. Metal af.
Thanks for everything. It means the world.
Big ups,

Some say Bach was the first Metalhead in history. Just hear his music and you would get metal vibes all over his body of work.

What is the pipe organ if not Heavy Metal... most pipes are of a lead alloy
Bach was 22 years old when he wrote this piece, THIS MAKES IT FEEL LIKE IT WAS MADE YESTERDAY!
Fun little story: my mom's not a metalhead, but she loves your covers. She also loves Toccata and Fugue, so much so that she had the organist play it at her and my dad's wedding, and listens to it all the time (especially around Halloween). So the second I saw the notification for this, I immediately told her and we listened to it together. Absolute banger, and mother-approved :D

Every time I hear Toccata and Fugue I always somehow expect it to transition to Back on the Rocks
"I'll be Bach"

No need to overly edit a truly classic. Just give it the life it deserves. This song has needed to meet metal for years

This takes me way back to the day of the arcades. If you ever played GYRUSS. This is the music that played the entire time you played the game and it sounded just like how Eric is playing it. So you kids didn't even know you were listening to the old grand masters music.
This is my favourite piece of recorded music at the moment. It is so well done. I love everything about it and I can't stop listening. Thank you!
This immediately lands in my playlists... amazing work! THANK YOU!💕

This is f'n beautiful and brilliant! One of my favorites, a song I've grown to know intimately, playing it on keyboard and church organ frequently. My only wish is this song were full length 10 minutes or so! I need to own a copy of this song! Please tell me you've made it available? I'm a firm believer that Bach would have been a metalhead. Beethoven and Vivaldi too. Keep em coming!
