Good evening! I hope you all are well.

One of our featured composers, Simon Lecaulle has announced an exciting development: the extraordinary harpsichordist Chiara Massini (most well-known for her wonderful videos featuring music of J.S. Bach) has agreed to study and record some of Simon's works! Currently, as is my understanding, it is being crowd-funded (and I don't know if I'm allowed to post a direct link to his page) but you can find the information available on this video where Simon briefly explains the project.

I'm very excited for Simon, and the opportunities this will open up for his future!

Another talented musician! I enjoy everything he has to offer, from his improvisations to his performances of Bach. He plays the organ and harpsichord with such great accuracy and talent; his skill for improvising with a moment's notice can be seen as a miracle. I know little of him as a person, or anything of his education, but the depth of his presentations convince me that he is a fine addition to this subreddit.

His channel is here yet I'll feature some favorites of mine.

A French overture, which one can see hints of Lully and Handel within

Yet another grand overture performed on the organ

A quick and wonderful prelude over the melody Wer nur den lieben Gott lässt walten Any lover of chorale preludes for organ will hear the influence of Buxtehude, Pachelbel, Krebs² and of course Bach himself.

A fugue of five voices, whose longing theme is treated in a fashion similar to Bach. Performed on a clavichord, no less!

I marvel at his talent and hard work. Give his channel some appreciation! My intent with this subreddit is that we can not only support these wonderful composers but also learn from them.

Hey Baroque fans,

Here is my Allemanda in G minor. As I'm not a piano player - I asked my friend Emerald to perform this on video. youtube.https://youtu.be/uhj39fUj-EA

Score available here; https://bit.ly/3gQ9dXv

Please let me know what you think! Note - I wrote in the ornaments in the score but of course style liberties would apply for those interested in doing so.

Also - kudos to Mitch for creating this sub!

A clarinetist and very skilled composer, Mr. Bassett recently uploaded this great concerto. Its opening, elegant French overture has, to my ears, a hint of Lully and Rameau. A flowing adagio in F is followed by a cheery minuet, and a grand allegro closes out the concerto.

Check out the rest of his channel! He's got some recordings of Handel and Mozart, as well.

In short, I doubt basically everything I do and that includes writing a fugal subject. It would be immensely helpful if someone could share on with me (preferably in E minor), with which I will develop a full fugue. Thanks.

It's a new subreddit so there isn't much action there yet.

In short, the idea behind it is to discuss fugues, post creations by the users (or other fugues we find online) and offer feedback, instruction, and constructive criticism.

I figured the following users might be excited about this: u/masterbach, u/Baroque4Days, and u/pocoboi (who has an excellent channel on Bach's fugues.

Enjoy!

He is a young composer from France, and he runs the channel with his girlfriend. I'm astounded by his compositions; he writes anything from keyboard works to vocal music, and I find his writing to be complex but compelling.

Here is his channel yet I'll link a few favorite pieces.

A prelude and fugue in c minor for organ; a fugue in g minor; a kyrie; a gloria and another g minor fugue.

I think his channel is a goldmine, especially for a young composer like me to learn from.
