  Classical Music - A short history
The high baroque music of the eighteenth century was dominated by the genius of Bach and Handel.
Later in the century, the Classic style of Haydn and Mozart dominated the music of Western Europe, with the symphony, sonata, and string quartet predominating, and the sonata principle at the core of musical structure.
1725 to 1900, that is the period of the defining tradition of western music.

 Baroque music - free-definition   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Music conventionally described as Baroque encompasses a wide range of styles from a wide geographic region, mostly in Europe, composed during a period of approximately 150 years.
Baroque music was more often written for virtuoso singers and instrumentalists, and is characteristically harder to perform than Renaissance music, although idiomatic instrumental writing was one of the most important innovations of the period.
In Classical music, which followed the Baroque, the role of counterpoint was diminished (albeit repeatedly rediscovered and reintroduced; see fugue), and replaced by a homophonic texture.

 Scottish Music in the 18th Century
This music has either been transformed into the idiom of the native air (like Then wilt thou goe) or has been supplanted by another tune of the folk-song variety; at any rate the present one retains the galliard rhythm but is found no earlier than the Balcarres Lute-Book of about 1690.
The amount of dancing done in Scotland greatly increased between 1720 and 1780, and led to an increased demand for dance music; to meet the need, large numbers of folk-songs were rewritten as instrumental dance tunes and pressed into service.
The gulf between the folk and classical traditions widened during the seventeenth century; classical music explored deeper and deeper into the possibilities of tonal harmony, and folk music was left behind in the monodic Middle Ages.

 Baroque Music - Part Two
The principal legacy of Baroque music is, of course, the music itself.
But most fell by the wayside: the music of Monteverdi and Purcell, of Couperin and Rameau, and of so many others was too dependent for their musical effect on the colors and techniques of Baroque performance to survive the "translation" to performance on later instruments played with later techniques.

 HOASM: Alessandro Scarlatti   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
There is no authentic record of his early life and training; in 1680 he conducted his first known opera, L'Onestà nell' amore, at the palace of Queen Christina, of Sweden in Rome; on the score of another, Pompeo, performed there in 1684, he is styled maestro di capella to the Queen.
1 and 2;; his secular vocal music includes madrigals, serenatas, duets, and a vast number of cantatas for solo voice with basso.
Through his development of the recitative and aria into the contrary elements of the opera, Scarlatti brought the 'Neapolitan' style to a leading position which it retained up to the time of Gluck.

 Alessandro Scarlatti   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
With a papal ban on public opera, he found an outlet for his talents in oratorio and in writing cantatas for his Roman patrons, notably Prince Ruspoli and the cardinals Ottoboni and Pamphili.
He was not influential or even very active as a teacher, nor was he the sole originator of the musical structures ( da capo aria, Italian overture, accompanied recitative) with which his name is associated, though he did bring to these a level of skill and originality which surpassed those of his contemporaries.
Some of his best music is in the chamber cantatas, too few of which are known today.

 classical music - andante - bach: st. john passion (1725)
In later years the 1725 insertions were not used again, but it is difficult to guess if the return to 1724 material was due to Bach's ongoing evaluations of the work's structure, or a political consequence of the Leipzig town council's dislike of the more operatic arias of 1725.
As for the execution, Collegium Vocale and the superb team of soloists are unlikely to provoke displeasure: this is modern Bach performance at its most refined and tasteful, and it is a pleasure to hear a performance that does not resort to shock tactics.
The 1725 version is also used by Peter Neumann on his 2001 recording with Collegium Carthusianum (MDG), and — despite having a slightly weaker line up of soloists and a rather heavy continuo group — Neumann makes much more of both music and drama.
