  Baroque Music - Part One
Music from the Baroque period is the earliest European music which we still generally recognize, whether it be the theme from Masterpiece Theatre (Mouret's Suite de Symphonie), the "Hallelujah Chorus" from Handel's Messiah, or any number of other pieces.
Most of the Baroque musical instruments and forms which evolved during the Baroque period survive today, particularly as they were embodied in the most familiar European art music, the music of the Classical and Romantic periods of the nineteenth century.
Most instrumental music was played in chamber settings during the Baroque period, given the patronage of the aristocracy and the lack of public performing spaces until the 18th century.

 THE OTTOMAN MUSIC   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
It is a music that has been used in all segments of the society from the Chinese borders to Morocco covering the last 500 years of the 25-centuries old Turkish music.
Ottoman music is the crystalized branch of the Ottoman art in sound, as opposed to stone in architecture, an art that the westerners used to call “the sublime art” in its manifestations in tezhib (gold ornamentation), nakş (miniature), carpets, hat (calligraphy) and ebru (paper marbling).
The classical music performed in the court and elite circles has very little resemblance to modern choirs, because choir is an application that stands in direct opposition to the principal character of the Ottoman music.

 DoveSong.com -- About Baroque Music
The music of the early baroque was composed in a style that was very similar the music of the renaissance era.
The baroque era culminated with the exalted music of J.S. Bach, whose three sons were among the first exponents of the new music of the classical era: the era that followed the baroque.
With the passionate accents of its music and the wide arches of its freely flowing melodies, it stands alone in the operatic literature; only the falstaff of the seventy-nine-year-old Verdi is comparable, both in its tragic disillusionment and in its bewitching poetry, to Monteverdi's Poppea, composed at the age of seventy-five.

 Baroque Music - Composers
Born in Westminster (now London), Purcell was the son of a court musician and became a chorister in the Chapel Royal at the age of ten; when his voice broke, he was apprenticed to the keeper of the royal instruments and tuned the organ in Westminster Abbey.
He became interested in the experimental musical dramas of Jacopo Peri, who was music director at the court of the Medici family, and in similar works by other early composers.
This opera, which surpassed all previous attempts at musical drama, was possibly the most important development in the history of opera and established it as a serious form of musical and dramatic expression.

 Course Descriptions Music
Music Majors Advisement Alert: Because of the sequential nature of many of the Fine Arts courses, students must meet during their first semester at Georgia Perimeter College with a Fine Arts adviser on the Clarkston Campus to plan their course of study.
Because the music curriculum must continue throughout an entire four-year College program, it is necessary that general education courses be met over the four-year period instead of during the first two years as is the usual procedure.
Students whose program of study is music are strongly urged to consult a music advisor prior to each semester's registration to ensure they register for the necessary courses to complete the associate's degree program in two years.

 Baroque Composers — Overview, individual biographies
His performance of sacred music, instrumental and vocal, made Lübeck a place of pilgrimage for musicians anxious to advance in their art, and the young Sebastian Bach himself traveled two hundred miles to hear them and to sit at the feet of the Master.
English musical life during the first half of the 1700s was dominated by the giant figure of Handel, who had settled in London in 1712; here once again, royalty had played its influential part.
As the 18th century progressed, European music was also becoming increasingly familiar in the United States, a particularly enthusiastic exponent being Thomas Jefferson, politician, diplomat, foreign minister to France, vice president under John Adams, two-term president of the United States, and of course, author of the Declaration of Independence.

 Baroque Music - Composers
French composer of the 18th century, and a highly influential music theorist.
Born in Dijon, where his father was an organist, Rameau traveled to Italy at the age of 18 and subsequently was employed as an organist in several French cities, most notably Clermont-Ferrand, where he stayed until 1722 and where he wrote his Traité de l'harmonie (Treatise on Harmony, 1722).
His Piéces de clavecin en concerts (Concerted Music for Harpsichord, 1741), for two violins and harpsichord, are among the earliest such works to give the keyboard an independent, rather than accompanying part.

He left Venice in 1741 in the apparent hope of finding new patrons in Vienna, where he died shortly after his arrival in the city.
The surviving church music of Vivaldi includes the well known Gloria, in addition to a number of settings of psalms and motets.

 Program Notes Title
Since Handel was England's busiest composer at the time, and had to produce all of this music in a short period, it's no wonder that he borrowed themes from a number of his other works in creating the concerti.
Yet a great deal of the music is completely new, and even when reusing his old themes, Handel always applied his ingenuity and inventiveness.
The horn calls continue as the music develops into a cheerful gigue, bringing the concerto to a rousing close.

 Anglo-Irish Music from 1701 to 1741
However, the "State Music" or the Viceregal band was also much in evidence, and in 1710 John Sigismund Cousser was appointed master of the King's band in Dublin, being also made master of the choristers in Christ Church Cathedral.
The success of the Hibernian Catch Club led to the formation of other musical societies, and in 1705 the "Bull's Head Society"--so called because the meetings were held at the "Bull's Head" Tavern on the western side of Fishamble-street--was started.
For long it was believed that the Neales were the earliest music publishers in Dublin (in 1726), but it is absolutely certain that many musical works were printed by Brocas, Dobson, Hoey, Crampton, Risk, Powell, Rhames, and Wilson, during that period.

But, as I've come to learn, his music is often deeply moving and he was surely one of the best tunesmiths in German music prior to Mozart and Schubert.
What I did not realize about Telemann, and what this CD helps to establish, is that he was a marvelous song-writer; I had thought of him primarily in terms of instrumental and sacred music.
It's only when we get to Schubert that lieder assume their core importance in German art music.

 Essentials of Music - Composers
Visitors to Venice in the early eighteenth century often made a point of attending one of the regular concerts given by the orchestra of the Ospedale della Pietà.
An important part of his duties was to supply concertos for the orchestra; over the course of his career he composed over five hundred concertos, both for solo instruments (principally violin) and for combinations of instruments.
Although Vivaldi wrote a great deal of music in other genres, including more than fifty operas, it is his concertos that have granted him a lasting place in musical history.

 Johann Joseph Fux: a concise biography
Johann Joseph Fux (1660-1741) is remembered less for his music than for his famous textbook on counterpoint, the Gradus ad Parnassum, Yet his music is well worth remembering for its own sake; it was not for nothing that the Emperor Leopold I made Fux his court-composer and music-director.
As a secular composer, he was soon neglected, but his sacred works continued to be performed for many years, and his book maintained its hold over several generations of composers.
This reawakened interest to some extent in the old court composer, and eventually some of his works were reprinted in the Austrian Denkmaler series; Fux began to emerge from the shadows as a fine composer in his own right, and not a mere pedagogue.

As the name implies, the journal seeks to provide a dynamic forum for the presentation of new thinking in the field of ethnomusicology, defined broadly as the study of "people making music", and encompasses the study of all music, including Western art music and popular music.
Typically, ethnographies aim for a broad assessment of the processes and contexts through and within which music is imagined, discussed and made.
Ethnography may be synthesised with a variety of analytical, historical and other methodologies, often entering into dialogue with other disciplinary areas such as music psychology, music education, historical musicology, performance studies, critical theory, dance, folklore and linguistics.
