The Baroque Suite is a musical form that originated during the Baroque period (approximately 1600-1750). It is typically a collection of dance movements that are often characterized by structured forms and intricate counterpoint. The suite usually consists of a series of contrasting movements, each with its own distinct character and tempo. Common dance forms found in Baroque suites include:
1. **Allemande** - A moderate tempo dance in a 4/4 time signature.
2. **Courante** - A lively dance, often in a 3/2 or 6/8 time signature, characterized by a flowing and changing rhythm.
3. **Sarabande** - A slow dance in a 3/4 time signature, often with an emphasis on the second beat.
4. **Gigue** - A fast and lively dance, often in a compound meter, typically found as the last movement of the suite.
Other dances like the Gavotte, Bourrée, and Menuet may also be included. Composers such as Johann Sebastian Bach, George Frideric Handel, and Jean-Baptiste Lully are well-known for their contributions to the Baroque suite repertoire.
