Baroque Music Writing tips

Postby a1 » Tue Apr 17, 2007 12:21 am

Does anyone here know how to write music in the Baroque form? I suggest something like Bach of Handel. i am just a wannabe composer. Any sites about this would also help.
thanks ;D

I can play Baroque, and Renaissance, and Medieval music with all my various instrument types, due to constantly listening and observing their styles over a long period of time.

Practice...practice...practice...

It becomes natural after a while.

Keyboards, Strings, Brass, Woodwind, Percussion, etc.

oh just one off topic. Is it just me or Bach's Harpsichord concertos are just a remake of his other works? Like his second one is his 4th Brandenburg Concerto. it just seems weird to me.  :-?

When you study, and play Bach's Works, you quickly realise that many of them are just variations on a Theme...;)...!

Much of today's modern, Western, "Pop Tunes" follow the exact same musical theme as Bach's...
...think about it...;)...!

Where would "Whiter Shade of Pale" ...or the "Hamlet Cigar advert" be without J.S Bach's influence...
;)....LOL...!

Paul.....4 beats to the bar... 8-)...!

a1....try some of Henry Purcell's beautiful music....>>>>
