The work was obviously composed for a keyboard instrument, but the contrapuntal style of writing makes it very appealing for performance with other instrumental ensembles; imitations and canons form the core of the 'keyboard practice'. \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eThe variations are predominantly three- or four-voice, with a clear harmonic progression and a melodic range appropriate for most instruments. The Goldberg Variations is full of fine melodies, canons and fugues. Some of the variations were originally from songs, such as the Aria and the Quodlibet; other variations almost beg to be sung. \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eThat is why the idea was born to rewrite the Goldberg Variations for 16 voices. It was challenging to produce an arrangement which sounds like authentic Bach vocal music; not sung keyboard music, but an idiomatic management of the choir, using vocal lines and singable melodies with text for articulation and phrasing. Not a literal arrangement, but a re-composition of the Goldberg Variations.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eIn Gustavo Trujillo's re-composition the choir is combined with a small baroque ensemble consisting of a string quartet and three woodwinds who play variously recorder, oboe, oboe d'amore and bassoon. The voices and instruments are closely intertwined, and take over from and support each other. Each variation is played by a different combination with a different texture and tone colour; voices and instruments alternate in a principal or supporting role.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eThe chamber choir PA'dam is a contemporary ensemble consisting of versatile, ambitious and independent professionals, under the energetic leadership of conductor Maria van Nieukerken. PA'dam distinguishes itself by its entrepreneurial attitude, eclectic programming and original approach. A good example of this is the theatrical production and CD based on the vocal version of Bach's Goldberg Variations.\u003cp\u003eARIA I\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVariation 1 Sei Lob Und Ehr\\x92 Dem H\\xf6chsten Gut\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVariation 2 Sehet Welch Eine Liebe\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVariation 3 \\x93Nun\\x94\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVariation 4 Bleib Bei Uns, Denn Es Will Abend Werden\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVariation 5 Nun Komm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVariation 6 Es Ist Genug\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVariation 7 Instrumental\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVariation 8 Instrumental\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVariation 9 Es Ist Euch Gut, Das Ich Hingehe\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVariation 10 Ich Bin Vergnugt Mit Meinem Gl\\xfccke\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVariation 11 Wo Gehest Du Hin?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVariation 12 Ich Ruf Zu Dir\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVariation 13 Ruhe Sanfte, Sanfte Ruh!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVariation 14 Instrumental\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVariation 15 Weinen, Klagen, Sorgen, Zagen, Angst Und Not\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVariation 16 Instrumental\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVariation 17 Instrumental\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVariation 18 Lasst Uns Sorgen, Last Uns Wachen\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVariation 19 Wachet Auf\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVariation 20 Komm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVariation 21 Ich Bin Ein Pilgrim Auf Der Welt\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVariation 22 Instrumental\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVariation 23 Instrumental\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVariation 24 Auchzet Gott In Allen Landen!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVariation 25 Ich Steh\\x92 Mit Einem Fuss Im Grabe, Bald Fallt Der Kranke Leib Hinein\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVariation 26 Tonet, Ihr Pauken!
