J.S. Bach Prelude from Violin Partita No. 3 BWV 1006 | John Bullard - Banjo version

Siccas Media presents John Bullard - J.S Bach Prelude from the third Violin Partita BWV 1006 played on a banjo. ►siccasmedia.com/
John Bullard plays his own transcription of the Prelude from Violin Partita No. 3, BWV 1006 by J. S. Bach (1685-1750). Like in the Lute version, the earthy, plucked tone of the banjo conveys the raw beauty of Bach’s lines.
The first graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University’s Department of Music to earn a degree in performance with the banjo, John Bullard has established a critically praised performing and recording career dedicated to exploring the artistic marriage of banjo and classical music. Bullard understands that accepting the banjo-a “folk” instrument with a complex pedigree-into the classical fold is a challenging proposition for traditionalists; the guitar once had to navigate a similar journey to mainstream acceptance. But through three album-length recordings, live performance, and workshops, Bullard continues to introduce the classical banjo to a growing audience worldwide.

Never expected to hear Bach on the banjo, but it works. Well done

[@SiccasGuitars]

Thank you James! You are right, unexpected but this performance is truly fantastic! 😀

[@mackinbox]

As someone who had tried to learn this on banjo-I can’t express how talented this man is. It’s an incredibly punishing piece.

[@druidsongevergreens]

Bach transcends instrumentation. He just understood the beauty of life and could illustrate it in any tuning. Great playing here 🙏🏻.

[@billypowell7204]

If J.S Bach could have ever gotten his hands on a banjo, what a thing to imagine

[@melvyndickson3074]

Enchanting. I had no idea a banjo could be played so sensitively.

[@SiccasGuitars]

Thank you Melvyn! Would you like to hear more of John's performances on our channel in the future?

[@samuelbarham8483]

@@SiccasGuitars I can answer for Melvyn -- yes, please! From all of us!

[@displaychicken]

@@SiccasGuitars agreed. More of this please. I’m a classical fanatic (especially Bach) but I also play banjo.

[@jasonwojcik]

My son got a banjo and loves it. I am not a fan of Americana songs and I was curious to see if someone had done classical pieces on the banjo. KZbin didnt fail me! I found this and it is a GREAT interpretation of the song! In 3-5 days business days, I will be a banjo player too.

[@richmondstevenj]

Brilliant. My favorite Bach piece on any instrument. I think the banjo is underrated.

Thank you Dennis, we were also very surprised but it is actually a very interesting and mesmerizing performance isn't it? 😉 We definitly love it!

[@jeffhildreth9244]

What is not well known is that this was music played on the 5 string banjo roughly 1880s to roughly 1915. I have long been a fan of John Bullard and have CDs which are played frequently. As to the banjo being underrated.. I believe under utilized would be an appropriate observation. Thank you for presenting this.

[@1959banjo]

wow - good ear! That is a great catch and I had made the mistake of not carrying the accidental through the bar...written correctly in my transcription, but a mental error that has remained in the fingering. I transposed from E maj to G maj and missed that when I did the fingering : )
