"Bachahama" is based on two very familiar pieces by Bach: the c minor fugue from The Well Tempered Clavier, and Air on the G String from the Orchestral Suite in D. The pitches are rearranged to create something different yet recognizable. The fugues are a little fantastic, and the Air is a little unearthly, but, after all, this is Bach by way of Yamaha.
