Jason Heath: “Chorale” Performance and Breakdown
Our good friend Jason Heath shared a new video yesterday, and I was mesmerized.
Jason has been working on the beautiful (and challenging) Nicholas Walker composition, “Chorale” for four years. He found a tutorial on String Virtuoso and decided to record this video, which includes him playing the piece, then breaking it down.
If you want to hear the performance, skip to the 0:41 mark in the video. For the rest, the timestamps are listed below the video.
