  • 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.

    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.
