Generic Baroque accompaniment

[mjames]

In music theory terms, how would you describe generic baroque harmonic progression? And what (short) works would you consider to be a good example of this? Thinking about playing around with baroque style improv but don't know where to get started. <.<

This is more renaissance than baroque, but still worth looking at:

It was used in "Guardame las Vacas" as well as "Greensleeves" and "Faronnel's Ground."

I found these videos interesting, perhaps they'll help you too!

That actually is really helpful because I'm interested in writing some "aria like" stuff, and this certainly covers it. Thanks.

@federa I'll look into your video right now!
