I am a music teacher who thinks pastiche compositions are interesting exercises. Apparently other people find them interesting too! What luck.

None But The Lonely Fugue
A choral fugue on one of my favourite art songs of all time, None but the Lonely Heart (Net, tol'ko tot, kto znal). I wrote it a while ago but have repeatedly tried and failed to record it vocally as it's quite hard - if anybody wants to give it a go feel free!
As ever, please leave suggestions for other fugue subjects in the comments, and you can find the sheet music for free on my website linked below.

Once you hear this theme in a minor key you can't go back - I can't be the only one who prefers it this way! Or maybe I just like minor chords too much... I'm sure that's healthy. There's some exciting news coming this year - new music, perhaps some LIVE performing (!!!!), so please like and subscribe for more!

a silly barbershop song

Old MacDonald and his very silly farm, for Barbershop Quartet. I don't have as much time for composing as I used to, but since I wrote this for my pupils that counts as work right... Once I'd started writing this I found another Old MacDonald parody by Lunch Break - if you like this you'll love them!

Every Jacob Collier Song Ever

LEAKED arrangement from Djesse Vol. 4??? Or maybe not... This acapella version of The Surrey with the Fringe on Top might give you a sneak peak at what to expect though. It's taken dozens and dozens of hours to try to imitate Collier's style, which just goes to show how much goes into his music. Please do comment what you'd like to see below, it's super helpful.

chopin is a bad guy - billie eilish / chopin mashup
Просмотров 14 тыс.2 года назад
The riff from Bad Guy by Billie Eilish is a fantastic motif that I think would lend itself to a huge variety of composers' styles. When composing this at the piano a few other composers sprang to mind who I could do next... I've finally shelled out for the expensive piano samples, so this (hopefully) sounds a lot better than my previous MIDI-sequenced pieces. If there is demand I might go back ...
Vulfpeck Fugue - a funk fugue
Просмотров 29 тыс.2 года назад
Funk Fugue. The perfect coupling? The original track has a fugal interlude/bridge, so I decided to complete what Vulfpeck started. When you allow jazz harmony, counterpoint becomes much easier! I've wanted to write this since I started uploading fugues here, and my newly-acquired Logic sound samples has given me the opportunity. Many thanks to my colleague and tech expert Joe for dealing with m...

Ontological fugue - the fugue that explains itself.
actually, hearing this again after a years, i think your "completion" at least to the end of the exposition, WAS BRILLIANT, or at the least very accomplished the theme was not inane, just inordinately LONG and the joke was in the LENGTH not the quality of the theme as a former double bass player trained in baroque continuo playing alongside orchestral work , and as a holder of a bachelors degree in composition - which included fugue - I think this theme had all the elements of a baroque fugal subject, even more than could fit into a one or two bar snatch which is the standard fugue subject. I would like to see this fugue worked out to the fullest extent, even if it is a vast juggernaut of nearly half and hour but alas it can't be done by me. my morale as a composer is utterly shattered and i have not put pen to music paper in 20 years
I'll sing it for u but it's gonna be bad up there in the stratosphere
This was good. Thank you.
Great fugue on a very cool theme. You should check out Cantamus for rendering the vocals!
Vaguely Purcellian? :-)
Ah the mediocre singing is my favorite part. I wish I had a set up for recording signing, but I can't do the bass part anyways.
1. Phone 2. Pitch shifting
Not a piece I'm familiar with at all but that fugue is sublime!
In my mind, I heard this sung by the Peter Schickele and the vocalists from the art of the ground round
Great work as always I hope we get a sung version!
Can you do an introduction, holding your friendly face into the camera, and previewing the text (here, not challenged by its prolixity), so that we have half a chance of sightreading the notes from the outset?
The Return of the King.
No goofy singing? 😢
Singing be hard 😢 (I tried recording this piece several times but it sounded far too goofy even for this channel 😂)
damnnnnn i came back to this after a year
Love your work
Thank you, I know it's been a while since my last upload!
The only thing that i think would be different in a real handel aria is that it would start and end on the same chord (i can think of exactly one aria of his that doesn't do this and it's "shy do the nations so furiously rage" but let me know if there are more because i could be totally wrong)
The ease of sight-reading this sheet music makes the point even clearer, having sung many a lied.
Literally the title combination in the description, I have sung all of them 😭😭😭
Challenge: Can you do a fugue on the Buddy Holly Lick
What if this, but they could sing?
Imagine if that was the final boss BGM for the NES version of Gyruss. 😯
Also the entrances of the voices in the fugue are perfect.
THE ERLKOENIG REFERENCE IS SO FUNNY
ahahaha
I'm a bass. I was left wheezing, gasping for breath, my sides have split and my body is no longer intact. The sweet embrace of death has been brought on by laughing too hard at this video. You have done excellent work. Thank you.
Ew.
Lol like the wit of this piece's germination. And very impressive counterpoint! There are so many interesting questions about Mozart re Bach and counterpoint! I'm assuming you've heard that one Mozart fugue he wrote allegedly after encountering a copy of Bach's best counterpoint in a church somewhere?
Anyone else replay it several times to sing all the parts in the chorale? Love this!

Awww, you missed an opportunity to score all 37 snakes dropping from Alecto’s head! ;)
Lyrics: They use suspensions a lot in Lieder Repeated motifs, with offbeat piano To build emotions: use modulations Chromatic tension and ritenuto Perhaps I'm finding my love rejected Or I've been called up for martial duties If so the piano depicts the action! Before preparing, The middle section A change of texture shows a winter storm is howling Chromatic passagework and baritonal growling Di minished chords bring strife The Neapolitan is quite a larming The triplet semiquavers show the heart in mayhem But that's assuming you'll find someone who will play them The RSI takes hold At least we build into the climax Preparing the main theme back in the tonic A counter melody is common But soon we come across a problem All these Lieder sound the same They are doppelgangers The final statement may seem familiar But now the cadence is interrupted The central motif gets expanded into yet more suspensions Dramatic ending
I understood fuge... Multiple voices creates harmony
Douglas Hofstadter would’ve loved this
thunderous applause !!!
This is up there with the St Rong Passion and the St Fruit Passion. Totally juicy.
This is pretty accurate.
It ain’t necessarily ‘solde
Never really listened to Jacob before, but I really like this! But maybe it's because I already knew about this channel- I was introduced via "the" Whitacre piece.
I ran back into this video, and it's as mind-blowing as the first time watching
Close enough, but Jacob Collier would never resolve a piece
The subject/answer counterpoint is abysmal. The four voice texture (what there is of it) isn't actually that terrible. Of course the proportions of everything are hilariously grotesque.

Simply amazing
these visuals are horrifying

Terrible...absolutely terrible. 😂
And it's now in my head and this song will go on and on.
