The Lullian French Overture (slow/fast) influenced most composers of the later Baroque era. It consists of two contrasting halves repeated twice (AABB). It can be called in binary form although it is an exceptional example since one would not expect a complete change of mood, tempo and meter to occur at the double bar.
