That's not just amazing in and of itself but the only way to do advertising which actually will impress people. Reminds me of that sheep dog guiding stunt with the lightened up sheep, for some electricity company or other, or was it for batteries?

Sartorias, I know the music but I don't know where from. What was that?

I'm pretty sure it's Bach.

Yes, it's "Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring".

I'm your stereotypical amateur at-home recorder player-- that is to say, "Gimme the sheet music and I'll play it as I please".... so I had no idea the song was normally played at a leisurely and expansive pace.

Instead, I've been playing it like a jig-- I think I go at least as fast as the latter part of the video. It works very well that way, too.

I had a feeling it was Bach, but I wasn't all that sure. I mostly listen to the Brandenburg Concertos when we have a festive lunch or dinner at my parents ^^;

Thank you, both!

Wow--the time and skill involved in that, and the beauty of it all--the raw bare wood is so pretty, and the quality of the sound, so lovely--and they've got the tempo right and all--think of what that must have involved! And then setting the whole thing up.

Gorgeous!

I agree! And, asakiyume, it reminded me of the time you took us walking in November and we found the section of rocky trail where every step sounded like music. So neat.

Yes! It sounds similar, actually--I agree.
