i have had a go at the first melody, im not done yet though. http://www.youngcomposers.com/music/5736/renaissance-excercise/

I enjoy renaissance music, so i will try doing these excersises. Will post when im done.

Thanks for the reccomendation, i will probably get it. But doing my search for a place to buy the book, i also came across one written by Jean-Phillipe Rameau, who was a famous baroque composer. And since i am going for a more baroque sound, maybe that one would be better?

What book(s) should i read?

I can't figure out when to move to the next chord in my progression, so how could i possibly tell when others, much less Mozart, does it? If you could tell where the chord changes happens, i could give you the roman numerals, but that would be defeating the purpose.

Depends on what you mean by "harmonic analysis" Besides, i don't see how that relates to my question.

I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say here. I would say i have a pretty good grasp of theory, at least enough to know what this is all about.

Well, im going for a baroque style. I don't know if that changes anything.

Thank you for your help.

Hi, im pretty new to music theory, so forgive me if this question sounds stupid. When should you move from one chord, to the next? I see pieces where the chord changes once per bar and sometimes pieces where the chord changes twice per bar (and sometimes more). So this has got me confused, and uncertain as to when to move to the next chord in my progression. I would appreciate any help.

I was wondering if anyone knew where i could get a copy of the score for Vivaldi's opera "Motezuma" ? I have searched a lot but couldn't find anything...

I am currently writing a concerto in the baroque style. I have it all down except for one thing, the viola. I have no idea what to do with it, should it play the same as the violins? or should it play the bass with the cello and double bass? or something completely different? I hope you guys can help me.

Thanks

Thank you Last Life.

Thank you, i always appreciate constructive critisism, no matter how little you give.
