THE BACH CHORALES

The Foundations of Vocal Harmony
Multimedia Vocal Program From PG Music

THE BACH CHORALES is a professional fully featured music program containing inspiring performances of Bach's famous four-part vocal Chorales. Listen to a professional choral ensemble sing some of J.S. Bach's most magnificent compositions, complete with a detailed multimedia history of the life and times of Johann Sebastian Bach.

We've recorded each voice (soprano, alto, tenor and bass) on a separate track, allowing you to listen to each part independently. Powerful multimedia features let you study the arrangements, hear the music, and sing along with a top chamber ensemble. This interactive program contains nearly an hour of high quality vocal music, a fascinating history of J.S. Bach, and a timeline of his life. With seamlessly integrated MultiTrack audio, MIDI, chord symbols, lyrics, and music notation, The Bach Chorales turns a typical sound card equipped PC into a vocal performance powerhouse.

Join the ensemble!
The Multimedia features of The Bach Chorales give you the ability to mute or solo any audio track independently and study or sing the part yourself. On-screen notation shows you the music, lyrics and chord progressions as the 4-part arrangement scrolls by in perfect time with the singers.
Unlike an ordinary CD recording, you can precisely control the audio mix by adjusting the volume and balance controls for each voice.
