Johann Sebastian Bach for Unaccompanied Ukulele is the only ukulele recording to include a major work by Bach in its entirety: Partita No. 3, BWV 1006. Performed by John King, the leading exponent of performance in the campanella style. The early baroque masters of the guitarra espa?ola pioneered a style of playing now known as campanella. The campanella style is noted for a bell like quality of sound in which individual notes over-ring one another producing an effect very much like that of the harp. This is accomplished by playing each succeeding note in a melodic line on a different string. The ukulele adapts well to this style of performance due to its hallmark re-entrant (my-dog-has-fleas) tuning. Visit www.nalu-music.com and listen to the Bouree from BWV 1006 in MP3 format.
