muchen_ Posted January 20 Posted January 20 (edited) This is an aria in the late Baroque style for flute, tenor, and continuo. The text is taken from Goethe's Unbegrenzt (unbounded).

Henry Ng Tsz Kiu Posted January 22 Posted January 22 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 1 Quote
Luis Hernández Posted Sunday at 12:01 PM Posted Sunday at 12:01 PM A beautiful and kind music. The counterpoint is fluid... Is it what is called an aria with obligato flute? 1 Quote

Is it what is called an aria with obligato flute? Yes! 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. Quote
