This is my instrumental arrangement of the version of “Ave Maria” where French composer Charles Gounod wrote a melody over J. S. Bach’s Prelude in C major from the Well-Tempered Clavier Book One. In my arrangement I tried to give it an 80s-ballad type of setting.

Shadows Quickie

“Shadows Quickie” is an original instrumental intended to sound like something the Shadows might have recorded in the early 1960s.

I also wanted to see how long it would take me to do it, from start to finish – composition to completed recording. Not counting the time to edit the video, it was two hours.
