date what the Brandenburg Concerto No 1 was written: 1721
he was a brooch composer:1600-1750
The Brandenburg Concerto No 1 - Allegro is from the baroque period. ( 1600 - 1750 )
some of the main characteristics are in the instrumentation, i could hear woodwinds, strings. but the main characteristic was the strings as they were most prominent and had melodies and counter melodies. there was lots of counter melodies as different instruments were brought in and out. The tempo varies are very subtle throughout the track from slow to mid tempo.
The mood that this track gives off is very relaxing and subtle. The reason why it is relaxing is because the strings are very soft and soothing. Also the melodies of the main strings are joy full and are complimented with counter melodies from instruments like wood winds, this makes me feel happy and calm at the same time.
It is a secular piece, which was part of a series of concerts which were widely considered to be some of the best of the period. He was one of the best Baroque composers and as a result when he passed away, baroque as a stopped and then came classical.
Good work Lewis but could you make your font a little bigger as it is a little difficult to read .
