August 15Aug 15 Hello! I present to you guys my Second Ballo Ongaro, for Strings, Basso continuo and Cornettos. The first Ballo Ongaro i made was roughly in the style of Danischer Simplicimus, wich has a collection of instrumental and vocal music that tries to mimic various styles around europe at his time (Even though most of them were not even close to what it actually sounded like). So in this one i decided to give it a bit of my own style, but still with some details from Simplicimus, wich are mainly the use of a lot of dotted note figures and short phrases.I hope you enjoy!LOB 114 Il Secondo Ballo Ongaro.mp3
August 27Aug 27 Hello @L.S Barros,Your music is lovely and fascinating in its assimilation of early music styles! I think you'd get more reviews of your work if you posted the scores along with the audio. It's much more difficult to review by ear. Edited August 27Aug 27 by CrystalCanon

So there would be tons and tons of errors people would notice and i prefer not to give it as i'm still working on it.Oh and by the way this piece is not 100% original, the main melody of the 1st part is from a rittornello in Claudio Monteverdi's opera "Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria". Of course i did not use it note by note but i changed it a bit. Edited Sunday at 10:13 PM4 days by L.S Barros

We are all learning here, no matter where we are on our journey. Importantly, we learn from each other through the feedback and suggestions we offer and receive.
