Baroque Suite in D, Op. 66: i. Overture - Ben Emberley

This is the opening movement, the Overture, from an Orchestral Suite for a Baroque Orchestra I wrote last year. I wrote it for Midna from the game Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. I found her laugh kind of cute, so I wrote this Suite for her! ^_^ The Overture is in typical from/style for one of the Baroque Era.

Nice French Overture. Sounds like Bach.

Thanks, I thought it sounded more like Handel than Bach personally. ^_^

It's more a boring excercise of banal sequenzes (sometimes with very strange "no baroque" harmonic steps, especially in the preludio) than a composition.

Very Handelicious. At some points I really shiver because you choose to do minor chords where Handel would (yeah, I know he would, because I got his phone number! *nods*) have used a major chord.

I wrote my own variations on the legend of zelda theme and chopsticks and my own baroque application to the enigma from nimrod variation by Elgar. It just has the baroque qualty

I love composing baroque music

I agree that it sounds like Handel, but I would say it's a lot more like William Boyce, who composed right in that same time period. It's very close to some of his Overtures. I would really recommend listening to some of them.

It is very deliciously Handelian! It would pair nicely with "The King Shall Rejoice" of the Coronation Anthems.

very nice its more a handel

Could be. Either way youre very talented. The interplay of voices sounds natural.
