Sadly, Moonlight Chill has had its first video removed from YouTube. Air On A G-String, by Johann Sebastian Bach, has been removed due to a copyright claim with regard to the visual content of the video. Technically speaking the video is still on YouTube, but it is now blocked worldwide meaning that nobody can watch it. This may seem like a subtle difference but it is an important one as it means that no strike has been recorded against the YouTube account - for which we are very grateful.
Having videos removed is always a risk when you create compilations of other artist's work, and ultimately it is the copyright holder's right to choose where and when their material appears. Moonlight Chill never monetises its videos, which means that all adverts that appear on the videos go towards providing income for the copyright holders. Moonlight Chill is not (and never will be) a money-making venture. Our sole purpose is to share our love of beautiful music and beautiful imagery.
As the audio content of Air On The G-String was not subject to the same content blocking we will be hoping to re-upload the piece very soon, set to different visual content. As soon as it is uploaded we will update the blog so that you can see the video as soon as it appears on YouTube.
In the meantime, we thank you for your continued interest and support of Moonlight Chill.

Air on a G String - Johann Sebastian Bach (arranged by August Wilhelmj) - Set To The Northern Lights
Air on the G String is August Wilhelmj's arrangement of the second movement in Johann Sebastian Bach's Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D major, BWV 1068.
The original orchestral suite was written by Bach for his patron Prince Leopold of Anhalt some time between the years 1717 and 1723. The title comes from violinist August Wilhelmj's late 19th century arrangement of the piece for violin and piano. By transposing the key of the piece from its original D major to C major and transposing the melody down an octave, Wilhelm was able to play the piece on only one string of his violin, the G string.

I have always been fascinated by the beauty of the Northern Lights and felt that this haunting piece of music perfectly captured their mystery and elegance.
