Song 1 ( Johann Sebastian Bach - Brandenburg Concerto No.2, BWV 1047 )

I am starting a song a day blog today, here is my first one: J.S. Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No.2 is one of my all time favorite pieces of music and my second favorite Brandenburg Concerto; it was published sometime around 1720 A.D. One interesting side note is that this song was the first piece of music featured on the golden record sent on the Voyager probe launched in 1977, so it might be the first Earth music heard by Extra Terrestrials and it will far outlast our planet.


Here is the entire piece performed by the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra:
Here is the first movement: Allegro on YouTube.
Here is the second movement: Andante on YouTube.
Here is the third movement: Allegro assai on YouTube.
