BAROQUE MUSIC 1600-1750

Focus Describe the Baroque period, including important developments.

Describe characteristics of Baroque music.

The Baroque Period—

A Time of Elaboration

The Baroque period (1600-1750) was a time of powerful kings and their courts. In Europe,

elaborate clothing, hats and hairstyles for the wealthy men and women matched the decorated buildings,

gardens, furniture and paintings of this period. The term baroque comes from a French word for

“imperfect or irregular pearls.” Often, pearls were used as decorations on clothing.

There was a great interest in science and exploration. During the Baroque period, Galileo

perfected the telescope by 1610, providing the means for greater exploration of the universe. Sir Isaac

Newton identified gravity and formulated principles of physics and mathematics. Bartolomeo Cristofori

developed the modern pianoforte in which hammers strike the strings. Exploration of new worlds

continued, and colonization of places discovered during the Renaissance increased.

Most paintings and sculptures of the time were characterized by their large scale and dramatic

details. Artwork celebrated the splendor of royal rulers. For example, the Palace at Versailles near Paris,

was built and decorated as a magnificent setting for King Louis XIV of France. It features notably

elaborate architecture, paintings, sculptures and gardens.

The Baroque period was a time of great changes brought about through the work of extraordinary

people such as:

Johann Sebastian Bach—German composer

Orazio Gentileschi—Italian painter

Alexander Pope—English poet

Galileo Galilei—Italian mathematician who used his new telescope to prove that the Milky Way

is made up of individual stars

Baroque Music

The music of the Baroque period shows the same kind of dramatic flair that characterized the

clothing, architecture and art of the time. Most of the compositions of that period have a strong sense of

movement, often including a basso continuo, or a continually moving bass line.

The Baroque period brought about a great interest in instrumental music. Keyboard instruments

were refined, including the clavichord, harpsichord and organ. The modern string family of instruments

were now used, and the trumpet became a favorite melody instrument in orchestras.

During the Baroque period, a number of new forms of music were developed. Opera, a

combination of singing, instrumental music, dancing and drama that tells a story, was created beginning

with Orfeo, by Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643). The oratorio, a large-scale work for solo voices,

chorus and orchestra based on a literary or religious theme, was also developed. In 1741, George

Frideric Handel (1685-1759) composed the Messiah, one of the most famous oratorios still performed

today. The concerto grosso (a multi-movement Baroque piece for a group of soloists and an orchestra)

was also made popular with Antonio Vivaldi’s (1678-1741) The Four Seasons and Johann Sebastian

Bach’s (1685-1750) Brandenberg Concertos.
