Composed for connoisseurs, for the refreshment of their spirits, by Johann Sebastian Bach, composer for the royal court of Poland and the Electoral court of Saxony, Kapellmeister and Director of Choral Music in Leipzig. Nuremberg, Balthasar Schmid, publisher. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCount Hermann Carl von Keyserlingk of Dresden suffered from insomnia and during his wakeful nights he enjoyed listening to music played by his private harpsichordist, Johann Gottlieb Goldberg, who was at that time just 14 years old! To cheer the count up, Bach was commissioned to compose a piece for this young keyboard virtuoso. \u003cbr\u003eAlas there is no shred of evidence to confirm the truth of this nice story – it is a description of the conception of the Goldberg Variations, written in 1802 by Nicholas Forkal, an early Bach biographer. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince the beginning of the 19th century there have been numerous adaptations and arrangements of the Goldberg Variations. The work was obviously composed for a keyboard instrument, but the contrapuntal style of writing makes it very appealing for performance with other instrumental ensembles; imitations and canons form the core of the ‘keyboard practice’. The variations are predominantly three-or four-voice, with a clear harmonic progression and a melodic range appropriate for most instruments. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work is full of fine melodies, canons and fugues. Some of the variations were originally from songs, such as the Aria and the Quodlibet; other variations almost beg to be sung. That is why the idea was born to rewrite the Goldberg Variations for 16 voices. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was challenging to produce an arrangement which sounds like authentic Bach vocal music; not sung keyboard music, but an idiomatic management of the choir, using vocal lines and singable melodies with text for articulation and phrasing. Not a literal arrangement, but a re-composition of the Goldberg Variations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cobra Records","offers":[{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739151085892,"sku":"COBRA0050-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739151118660,"sku":"COBRA0050-9","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739151151428,"sku":"COBRA0050-10","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739151184196,"sku":"COBRA0050-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739151216964,"sku":"COBRA0050-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739151249732,"sku":"COBRA0050-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739151282500,"sku":"COBRA0050-17","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739151315268,"sku":"COBRA0050-18","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739151348036,"sku":"COBRA0050-19","price":27.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739151380804,"sku":"COBRA0050-22","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739151413572,"sku":"COBRA0050-23","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Binaural","offer_id":56739151446340,"sku":"COBRA0050-24","price":24.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Binaural","offer_id":56739151479108,"sku":"COBRA0050-25","price":26.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Binaural","offer_id":56739151511876,"sku":"COBRA0050-26","price":30.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Binaural","offer_id":56739151544644,"sku":"COBRA0050-49","price":21.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Binaural","offer_id":56739151577412,"sku":"COBRA0050-50","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57310124966212,"sku":"COBRA0050-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57336067490116,"sku":"COBRA0050S1417","price":27.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57336067522884,"sku":"COBRA0050S1517","price":29.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57336067555652,"sku":"COBRA0050S1617","price":33.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 2ch Binaural","offer_id":57336067588420,"sku":"COBRA0050S1424","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 2ch Binaural","offer_id":57336067621188,"sku":"COBRA0050S1525","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 2ch Binaural","offer_id":57336067653956,"sku":"COBRA0050S1626","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround \u0026 2ch Binaural","offer_id":57336067686724,"sku":"COBRA0050S141724","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround \u0026 2ch Binaural","offer_id":57336067719492,"sku":"COBRA0050S151825","price":32.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround \u0026 2ch Binaural","offer_id":57336067752260,"sku":"COBRA0050S161926","price":36.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57336067785028,"sku":"COBRA0050S69","price":26.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57336067817796,"sku":"COBRA0050S710","price":25.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/COBRA0050.jpg?v=1790496891","url":"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/products\/cobra0050-padam-sings-bach-goldberg-variations","provider":"NativeDSD Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
