January 20, 20251 yr This is an aria in the late Baroque style for flute, tenor, and continuo. The text is taken from Goethe's Unbegrenzt (unbounded). Edited January 20, 20251 yr by muchen_
January 22, 20251 yr Hi @muchen_, It's really a nice Baroque Aria. I like the counterpoint and melisma in it, and I like the cadential hemiola you use. For me it's quite creative and a bit weird to set Goethe's text in a Baroque style, since his birth year merely touches the end of the period! Thx for sharing. Henry
February 2, 20251 yr A beautiful and kind music. The counterpoint is fluid... Is it what is called an aria with obligato flute?

The flute + tenor pairing is one of the classics (like trumpet + bass). As far as the "aria" aspect goes, it's a blend of ternary form and a ritornello theme.
