This subreddit is for compositions which are in imitation of music from the Baroque era (1600-1750). This may include concerti, fugues, suite movements, and the like. Users may post works that they have written--so long as we can hear and give feedback or show our appreciation. Period instrument recordings would be spectacular, however computer-generated recordings (like MIDI) is still acceptable. Scores would be optional but encouraged.

"Heavy metal" orchestral composition from the baroque era?

Recommendation Request

I once listened to such a piece on YouTube some years ago, but have forgotten what it was. I think it wasn't Vivaldi -- or at least wasn't one of his more famous compositions (e.g. the four seasons). The strings were played in an almost percussive, rough way. I know this isn't much, but does this ring any bells to anyone?

What is considered to be some of the most beautiful music from before the Baroque period?

I'm afraid that I just don't know nearly enough about musical history to even phrase the search properly, and I don't even know where to start.

I think what I'm looking for is from the stereotype most people call a bard, but (again, I think) is actually a minstrel. I know a bard is actually a poet (hence Shakespeare's nickname) but I also know that there were epic songs put to music, not just poetry.

But maybe this is just some idea I've picked up from fairy tales about troupers, etc.

I suppose that a lot of it will be in folk music. But that's a very national thing, and it's going to be different from country to country, and even then they'll have periods in history.

A lot of it may be hymns and such, but I don't want to be limited to anything Eurocentric or christianity.

I guess I'm looking at a broader scope, but I don't really know what I'm looking for. But I think I'll know it when I hear it?
