Bachs Cello Suites I-III Arranged for Tenor Banjo
Bachs Cello Suites I-III Arranged for Tenor Banjo
by Rob MacKillop
Bachs cello suites are among the most famous solo instrumental works of all time. The cello and the tenor banjo share the same tuning, and banjo players might be surprised at how well this great music fits on the fretboard. Rob MacKillop has provided tablature for the first three suites. Here is a chance for tenor banjo players to explore Bach on their instrument, which could be tuned to either regular, CGDA, or Irish tuning, GDAE. Includes online accompanying audio using three different tenor banjos: a regular tenor (Deering Eagle II), a gourd tenor (Jaybird Banjos), and a cello banjo (Gold Tone) which has the same low pitch as the cello.
A `suite is a collection of dances of varying speeds and time signatures, conceived to be performed as a whole, and preceded by a prelude. Bachs Prelude to the 1st Suite is magnificent and justly famous. The Bourree from the 3rd Suite is also very popular. Enjoy playing Bach on the Tenor Banjo! Includes access to online audio.
