Bach but sets these eatures to modal harmonies and modern rhythms. The moti o the piece comes rom Bach s Brandenburg Concerto No. 3. However, while Bach starts his moti with an anacrusis (pick-up), in Baroque Variants this rhythmic idea begins on the beat and is the irst thing heard. There is a ugal exposition in the middle o the piece (m. 25) that pays homage to Bach s wonderul counterpoint. The piece then moves into a challenging string quartet texture in m. 48 and comes back with a lurry to end on the original Brandenburg moti. I hope your orchestra enjoys Baroque Variants!
