Triosonata no. 6 BWV 530 - 1 - Vivace

Bach's six organ sonatas are written in three independent parts (right hand, left hand, and feet), so they work wonderfully well as recorder trios. In this video, I'm playing a Moeck Rottenburgh soprano, a Mollenhauer Helder alto, a Mollenhauer Helder tenor, a Yamaha bass, a Yamaha great bass, and a contrabass by Friedrich von Huene. In this movement, I doubled all the parts in octaves. The extended range of the Helder instruments allowed for slightly fewer alterations to the original line, although of course there are slight differences between the parts played on those instruments and their octave doubles. I recorded this for a virtual concert for the Society for Historically Informed Performance () series in the summer of 2021.
