Question: who recorded pop version of Bach Prelude #12 f

Postby Jed » Mon May 16, 2005 6:39 pm

Today while I was receiving a haircut, I heard a very interesting song on the local radio station. The melody of the song was exactly taken from Bach's prelude number 12 in f minor from his second book for the well-tempered clavier. If anyone out there knows which contempory artist recorded this very interesting piece and what the name of it is, or the name of the album it is from, I would really really appreciate that information.

Please send your answer to vivaldi2@hotmail.com and use "Answer to your question" as the title so I konw it isn't junk mail.

Thank you so much whoever has the answer to that.

Got a link for a midi file or something?
Then maybe there's a chance.

OK, I found a midi.
The first chords sounded familiar. Played them in my mind for a while and it occurred to me that it sounds like the song "SOS" by ABBA.

Hey TreeFancier, good work. :)
Gonna email the person as they asked, or just leave it to them to find the board again?
I ask purely out of curiousity.

I did not go back to read that he/she provided an email address and asked for response there.

Done deal now, though.

Hey Thanks everyone for your feedback. Sorry it has taken me so long to reply but I have moved just recently and don't have my own internet access for the time being. No I don't have a link to a midi containing that piece. I will listen to the oine recomended by TB as soon as I can (but who knows when that will be) to see if it is indeed what I heard on the radio.

I think that you probably heard the song "They" by the Welsh born pop-rock singer Jem. It is off of here 2004 record Finally Woken. I heard this song several years ago but my interest was sparked again by hearing the song on my friends car stereo. It is hard to get it out of your head.
