"Accompanied" Solo pour la Fl$00FBte traversi$00E8re BWV1013 a minor [Sax. Pf.]

Instrument: A-Sax. Pf

Note Preface "Accompanied" unaccompanied Bach

Even in an unaccompanied solo piece, there are always underlying harmonies and one needs to be aware of this when performing. Therefore, when I teach my students, I have provided accompaniments to Bach's unaccompanied works. I have now decided to publish this accompanied version as I think it would be useful for music students in general. Here I present Bach's Partita for unaccompanied flute with continuo realization which can be also be performed as concert repertoire.
I have attempted to emulate Bach's harmonic style by imaging how he would have accompanied these works if had been asked to. Some may object to the choice of certain harmonies, but the whole point of this publication is to increase interest in performing with a strong sense of harmony through such a process.
Furthermore, in Bach's unaccompanied works, there are often multiple voices within a single part. So I have also provided a "duet version" which will help clarify the flow of the voices. I hope that students will perform this with friends or with their teachers, and enjoy and learn at the same time.

Note A Jupiter Fantasy was first composed six years ago for one event in Japan. Arranged upon Jupiter from the suite "The Planets" by G. Holst, he combined its beautiful melody with the Chorus and piano. Since then, he wrote more than ten various versions using the melody of Jupiter so far. This is one of them and for band version.
This is a part of "The planets", trilogy for band, which consists from "March for Mars" and "The Earth". The Premiere performance was held in Fort Collins, Colorado May 2005 by the Rocky Mountain High School Band under the direction of ITO Yasuhide, and was highly acclaimed.
