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 Grin

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.

Paul...you hum it, I'll play it... Cool

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. Huh

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

...!

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

...!

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

....LOL...!

Paul.....4 beats to the bar... Cool

...!

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