Baroque music in video games
Over the years I've noticed that I love video game tunes with baroque influences - or at least what I think of as baroque. The thing is, I have no idea if these are really baroque pieces or if there are some other classical influences here (or it's something else altogether). My knowledge of music history and theory is a bit lacking. I'd love to be able to define why I like these songs (and eventually attempt my own in this style).
Basically what I'm asking is this: 1) Would these be considered baroque? 2) If so, what makes them baroque? Here are the tracks which prompted this thread:
Also random Castlevania tunes composed by Yamane The chord progressions in Huge Game Table and Baroque Virus in particular give me the same kind of feeling. I wish I had more examples; I used to have a playlist with a bunch of these but lost it awhile back. If anyone else has examples of similar songs found in video games, I'd love to hear them. How ya doing, buddy?
Check out my original music at my Soundcloud page!
Latest music rips (updated January 10, 2012): SimCity DS - Jazz/ambient/electronic music including interesting reworkings of songs from the fantastic SimCity 3000 soundtrack Cold Winter Original Game Music Score - Really cool; dark, full, emotional strings mixed with drums, piano, choir. Kind of like Furious Angels? Play-Asia - Japanese CDs, game soundtracks, game imports, & more
