Bach Cello Suites, harmonized with chords and walking bass

Rick Walker 8/9/2024

Bach Cello Suites transposed up a fifth to be playable with cello fingerings on octave mandolin tuned GDAE.

Original bass lines kindly provided by Ian Swedlund cellofun.com . Harmonic analysis informed by Allen Winold, Bach Cello Suites: volume I and II .

I have modified the source materials to my taste, and take the blame for any musical mistakes. I hope you enjoy these and use them as a starting point for further evolution. The scores and midi/mp3 were done using Rosegarden . Editable files are available upon request. Collaboration welcome.

I have edited about 6 of these pieces so far. I'll try to upload these and update them as I have time, subject to interest and feedback from other musicians. I can also provide tablature and fingerings for most of them.
