That is its own very special kind of awesome.
Bach wrote the Fugue and Tocatta to test every part of a church’s pipe organ. Getting that kind of versatility out of forty or so glasses of water is really quite amazing.
There are a couple of spots where the arrangement doesn’t quite work for me. But I’m not enough of a real musician to suggest improvement, and it’s awesome enough that nitpicking it feels small.
He’s got a few other videos up, too.
Somehow I knew this would be one of his others.
And somehow I knew what that was before I clicked the link.
It’s not exactly Elvis Perkins.
Not that anybody cares, but the music starting at about the 3:15 mark for about 1:00 might be the greatest, most awesomest, series of notes ever put to paper in the whole history of guys and gals putting notes to paper. Better on a pipe organ and even bestest with a full symphony orchestra but anybody who can play it on 40-some separate glasses filled with the correct amount of water to get the proper pitch is not to be scoffed at.
