Article: An Even Whiter Shade of Pale


Recommended Posts

Great story, thanks!

 

I always loved this song, a classic.

 

This song has something that always made me think of other music but I could never tell which one.  That was until about a week ago, when I read that A Whiter Shade of Pale is an adaptation of JS Bach's Air on a G String.  I then knew that I had just found that other music.

 

My source: Eric Siblin, author of this book on Bach's cello suites https://www.amazon.ca/Cello-Suites-Casals-Baroque-Masterpiece/dp/0802145248.

 

I read it on page 252 of the pocket book edition in French, in the chapter on the 5th suite. I have no connection with E Siblin.
