	Baroque music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Baroque music describes an era and a set of styles of European classical music which were in widespread use between approximately 1600 to 1750 (see Dates of classical music eras for a discussion of the problems inherent in defining the beginning and end points).
		Baroque music would see an expansion in the size, range and complexity of performance, as well as the establishment of opera as a type of musical performance.
		Musically the adoption of the figured bass represents a larger change in musical thinking—namely that harmony, that is "taking all of the parts together" was as important as the linear part of polyphony.

	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.
		The principal ensemble instruments in Baroque music, as in all subsequent European art music, are the unfretted (that is, without frets), bowed, string instruments of the violin family.
		Baroque musicians were not concerned with expressing their own feelings and emotions, rather they sought to describe with objectivity, feelings and emotions which were distinct from what they actually felt.

	RUBINGHSCIENCE.ORG / Rhythm in Baroque music
		It is the music of one of the greatest periods of renewal, growth and expansion of European culture and science.
		Almost all music, when we look at the time aspect or rhythmical aspect of the music, naturally is thought of as having or being superposed on a regular ``beat'' or ``count'', like the ticks of a clock ticking, or like the beat of the human heart.
		In vocal music, the words of the music are most often placed in such a way into the music by the composer that the sentences of the text coincide with the phrases of the music; and in vocal music, singers inhale breath between phrases of the music.

		The cantata and the cantata of J.S. Bach.
		The graphic musical representations are also called "madrigalisms." Despite expressive advances and sometimes excesses, the madrigal may be regarded as a hybrid of the two important genres of the period, the motet and the frottola, and their highly individual textures, which composers manipulated in alternation to expressive ends.

		The topic of performance practice in early music has produced a veritable flood of emotionally charged criticism from both sides of the proverbial "fence".
