I discovered trombone and sackbut player Adam Woolf's Bach Together on-line project by accident when one of its participants Tweeted about it. The concept is simple, Woolf has created a web page with a score of the choral 'Ich will hier bei dir stehen' from Bach's St Matthew Passion, with a recording of it. He invites people to sing/play along with the recording and then email the result to him and he adds it to the recording, thus creating a remarkable on-line crowd performance.
So far, there are over 60 contributes from voices and orchestral instruments to serpents and Wagner tubas. The results are, in a way, rather moving. The page includes archived versions of the choral with fewer performers, as well as some rather funny 'out takes'.
