If anyone knows whether there is sheet music for "Ich ruf zu dir mein Herr"
in an arrangement for piano please let us know.
In the meantime I would highly recommend Bernard Glimser's version in an
arrangement by Busoni. Truly beautiful: _Bach-Busoni: "Ich ruf zu Dir" -
YouTube_ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=La2MIYSDduY) This is truly one of
Bach's most profound Preludes ever.
Another short and well known piece (Sheep May Safely Graze, arranged by
Petri for piano) played by Yeol Eum Son at the Cliburn 2009 Competition is
entrancingly beautiful and is posted on Youtube: _Cliburn 2009 Yeol Eum Son
Final Recital - YouTube_ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNJdjtNxop0)

Pat,
Thank you for your kind thoughts. Yes Canadians in general are very nice
people as are many Americans I have met over time. As for beer, I could go
on at length, though I must admit we do have a plethora of micro-breweries,
many of which are excellent. BTW there is a great beer not far from GG's
country home, Mad Tom's IPA, in Muskoka, Ontario if you enjoy IPA's.
Yes, cold at the moment, though our weather report is not much different
than that of northern Vermont, New Hampshire and the state of Maine.
Admittedly, September and April are the best months to visit.
Kind regards,
Karl

Anita, the score can be found on the website I gave you. Scroll down to “
Scores”, click on Complete Score, accept their terms and a new window will
open with a pdf file that you can print out.
There must be tons of sources for music manuscrpts from archives,
libraries, universities etc that are open to the public and available on the web
with a few clicks. Lemme find a few for you if you need some sources. Why
cough up for sheet music when the stuff is in public domain anyway ?
What is in this particular score I cannot tell you. Lemme gat past Louie
Louie and we shall see...
Ottawa might be nice. You might get to see GG’s chair and CD 318, plus
Canadians are very nice, quiet and friendly and the beer is much better. Just
don’t go there right now, might be rather cold....maybe in September, who
knows ?

Karl,
Thank you for the information. I live in South Carolina, the middle of
the Deep South, and Ottawa if just a place I dream of seeing. I will send a
message to them, and, hopefully, they might have that score.
Best regards,
Anita

Anita,
Although perhaps not the best (is there a best?) place to go, as there are
many music sites and one has to look and compare apples with apples, CD
Universe is certainly reliable. I've used it a few times myself
Yes, I play piano (poorly I might add). There is a really nice store in
the Ottawa area on Bank Street ... _http://www.ottawafolklore.com/_
(http://www.ottawafolklore.com/)
If you are not from the Ottawa area they might deliver.
At a quick glance, I could not find what you are looking for but you
could, in addition, send them a request or they might also point you to a site
where it is available.
I hope this is of some help.
Kind regards,
Karl

Karl, Many thanks. I ordered, and learned about "CD Universe". Now I'm
going to try to track down the score. Are you a pianist? Do you know, by
any chance, where it is available.
Best regards and thanks,
Anita

Anita, Pat
I've owned this recording for about 2-3yrs and must have played it 100
times.
Without going into details, I think every track on this CD is worth
listening to.

Pat,
This is awesome, and I don't use that term lightly. Do you know if this
recording by Murray Perahia is available on the market? I've played this
about twenty times and can't get enough of it.
Many, many thanks,
Anita
PS Forget what I wrote about not buy anything. (-:

Great find!
Although not played by GG, Murray Perahia is certainly no slouch and has
been a Bach fan of mine for some years. I was lucky enough to meet him
after a concert given here in Ottawa two years ago.
Makes you wonder what GG would have done with this piece of music, could
he have possibly played it at an even slower tempo or perhaps twice as fast?
Although we'll never know, one thing you can be certain of, his recording
would have been, as with so many of his other recordings ... Gouldian.
Kind regards,
Karl

Dear all
Some weeks ago someone here wanted to know if a recording of the cantata
Ich ruf zu dir mein Herr Jesus Christ by Johannn Sebastian Bach was ever
recorded by Glenn Gould.
Well, it wasn’t but by sheer coincidence I found another recording and
with this one I can kill two birds with one stone.
First you get a piano recording of said cantata plus you get info on the
NASA Voyager mission plus absolutely stunning images :

If you are new to the GG universe, there is a connection to GG and the
Voyager mission. Apart from being one of the most spectacular missions NASA
ever did, this spacecraft also contains a recording of parts of the WTC1 as
recorded by GG (amongst other stuff), just in case this spacecraft might
one day be found by Little Green Men far, far, very far away...
