allemande
A typical Baroque suite consists of a series of dances that often follow a specific order: Allemande, Courante, Sarabande, and Gigue, among others. These dances are usually in a moderate to fast tempo, showcasing contrasting rhythms and styles. Each dance has its distinct character, often reflecting the elegance and ornamentation of the Baroque period. While the suite may include additional movements, this structure provides a coherent framework for the collection.
The only one I know of is the "Holberg Suite" by Grieg.
