Some Thoughts on Playing the Organ by Willem Tanke: J.S. Bach - Meine Seele erhebt den Herrn BWV 648

J.S. Bach - Meine Seele erhebt den Herrn BWV 648 - "multiple articulation"

In this interpretation I very consciously applied the principle of "multiple articulation", a term invented by myself. It implies a varied articulation for each voice separately.

About

As a classical organist I have been a prominent Messiaen and Reger interpreter since the '90s. Nowadays Bach interpretation is my main classical project. This is represented by my research "Dancing Bach on the organ". At the same time, as an improviser and a performing composer, I have been creating a new musical language which brings together musicians with avant-jazz, avant-pop, Western classical and traditional African and Asian backgrounds. I now relate this to my Bach interpretation.
