In April 2013 I was pleased to draw attention to Stephen Malinowski’s
Music Animation Machine that featured a wonderful animation of Stravinsky’s The
Rite of Spring based on the musical stave and giving a colourful and pictorial
image of the music http://theclassicalreviewer.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/stravinskys-rite-of-spring-as-you-have.html
Last week saw the tenth anniversary of Stephen’s animated
graphical scores on YouTube. Now comes an equally spectacular animated
graphical score of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOWi8tOf5FA
featuring organist Hans-André Stamm www.eufonia.de
Again you will find it great fun and, if you don’t read
music, it can give a very good idea of pitch, note length and harmony. If
you’re looking for some unusual entertainment over the holiday period, then
give these animated scores a look.
There is much more information about Stephen’s fascinating
and entertaining animated graphical scores on his website www.stephenmalinowski.com From here you can access the Music Animation Machine
Youtube channel to find even more animations of other classical scores.
As I publish my last review before Christmas, I would like to take
the opportunity to send Seasons’ Greetings to all of my followers and to all
the Record Companies, Publishers and Music PR Companies that have supported me
during 2015.
