In fact, this is pretty rare.
Aside from Paulo and myself I cam only think of one Swedish composer Petter
Möller
who has done something of the sort.
There are also one German and one French-Canadian
early music groups who have done a lot of arrangements
of folk as early music.

Subject: [LUTE] Re: YouTube - Marco Meloni Baroque Guitar Vol.5
Just a not so important comment: there are many genres of music. One of
the
not most common must be this "ethnocentric-neo-baroque". Actually to me
already Stravinsky composed some "neo-baroque" music (Pulcinella for ex.),
so the baroquenism of the 21th century perhaps should be called
"neo-neo-baroque" or alternatively "neobaroquenism"? And with some added
ethnocentrism perhaps the style could be named "ethnoneobaroquenism"?
Just a thought...

A very assured performance and presentation. I tried to find out
something
about Marco Meloni but there are many people with that name, so I didn't
(!).
He seems to be from Sardegna.
I tried to play some of Paulo's guitar pieces a few years ago. He writes
some very attractive neo-Baroque (or pastiche?) music. This Entrada
sounds
like it's referencing Bach allemandes to me. He has also written some
very
Vivaldi-like music.
His music is so Iberian that the term pastiche is non applicable anymore.
Ethnocentricm redeems.
But Paulo's music is not easy. I'll partly blame my rather poor guitar
but
I found the music too challenging.
Paulo's music seemed to me as if it was written for an instrument with
low
basses (but I don't think I'm hearing Marco Meloni with bourdons on
both?)
and there were never any campanellas.
I'm pretty sure Paulo wanted to avoid cliches.
But Marco Meloni gives very impressive and convincing performances of
Paulo's music.
Yes!
