Approved

Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos are not written for the traditional single soloist, but for groups of them, almost like gigantic pieces of chamber music. This democratic spirit – to say nothing of the sheer joyousness of the music itself – has understandably inspired many composers since.

Barber’s Capricorn Concerto draws on the second Brandenburg, and Aaron Jay Kernis’ piece, despite its title, isn’t so much an echo as a deliberate homage to Brandenburg No.6.
