New Recording of the Bourree from J.S. Bach's Cello Suite #3




I arranged this Bourree for solo banjo and recorded it with the great Dave Gannett. You can listen to the recording HERE.

It is in C tuning (gCGBD)and the cellists I listened to played it largely with an impassioned sensitivity which I tried my best to replicate on an instrument not best known for its sensitivity.

If you would like to try playing it here is the tablature...

  2. I've always liked the cello also. One of my best friends growing up, Garrett Knecht, was a cellist and would practice every morning when the rest of us were sleeping in.

    One interesting thing I found about arranging cello pieces for banjo; in C tuning the range lines up nicely. Both instruments have the low C (although I believe on cello it sounds an octave lower...feel free to correct me cellists).
