Tunes with a hint of Baroque...?

Eh? Eh? Besides the Baroque Fiddle[r] (because it's my tune) and Carolan's tunes, are there any other tunes that have a Baroque flavour to it?

Cheers,
Armand

Quite a few English tunes, but can only think of Harlequin's Air right now.

Theres a beautiful one called The Golden Cross - though I believe its English. I have the dots but dont know how to post them on here unfortunately.

The Horse's Branle?
Virtually any Playford Tune, if played in the right frame of mind...

There's a guitar setting of the Swedish Jig in some manual or other that sounds extremely baroque to me.

How about Liz Carroll's "Air Tune": http://thesession.org/tunes/display.php/2833

Last year I got a beautiful recording called "The Collector's Items" by Duncan Dyker and Friends: http://www.heallan.com/collectors-items.html Some of Scott Skinner tunes and traditional strathspeys really sound like Baroque pieces in a small ensemble.

Re: Tunes with a hint of Baroque...?

you could try some swedish folk dances, namely everything which is called a "polska". You'll be surprised how baroque they do sound.

Puirt a Baroque

My wife says you need to check out Puirt a Baroque. Their web page is apparently http://www.dungreenmusic.com/PaB/PaB.html

(Disclaimer: I've never heard them. But my wife has good taste.)
