Vincenzo Galilei - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Galilei composed two books of madrigals, as well as music for lute, and a considerable quantity of music for voice and lute; this latter category is considered to be his most important contribution as it anticipated in many ways the style of the early Baroque. He was a seminal figure in the musical life of the late Renaissance, and contributed significantly to the musical revolution which demarcates the beginning of the Baroque era. Vincenzo Galilei (1520 – July 2, 1591) was an Italian lutenist, composer, and music theorist, and the father of the famous astronomer Galileo Galilei. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Vincenzo_Galilei   (1485 words)

insdec97.htm Francesco Antonio Bonporti (1672-1749), a slightly older contemporary of Sebastian Bach, belongs to the "gentleman musician" category of Italian baroque musician.Others in this class were Benedetto Marcello and Tomaso Albinoni who held no professional musical post. One of the most challenging and ear-opening albums of French baroque music to appear in a long time, one that is certain to shake even the most jaded of listeners out of his complacency. In the process he sheds some light on the possibilities and limitations of the transverse flute in the music of the Italian Baroque, with its paucity of original repertoire for the instrument. www.continuo.com /decrevs97/insdec97.htm   (1485 words)

Musical Forms - Sonata A piece of music, almost invariably instrumental and usually in several movements, for a soloist or a small ensemble; or a structural principle, the sonata form. Among sonatas in the smaller second category are those based on a programme, like Liszt's Après une lecture de Dante, fantasia quasi sonata, or those which experiment with structure, such as the same composer's single-movement Piano Sonata in b Minor. The order of movements in the Sonata da camera ('chamber sonata') was less standardized, but many examples follow the order of the four main dances of the Baroque suite: allemande, courante, sarabande, gigue. w3.rz-berlin.mpg.de /cmp/g_sonata.html   (802 words)

Encyclopedia: Ritornello Ritornello seeks to rescue certain compositions from the "serious music" category and return them to their proper place among the basic needs of men and women, as a universal language, by using small and even the smallest musical forms (the song, the dance) in their own elegance and rawness: a Baroque-Romantic "Return". In Baroque music, Ritornello was the word for a recurring passage for orchestra in the first or final movement of a solo concerto. Both ritornello and strophe are tonally closed units which are self-contained thematically, the musical relationship between the two not being predetermined. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Ritornello   (1058 words)

MTV.com - George Martin Parlophone released records in every category from classical to "race" (i.e., R&B), but the label's top artists during the early '50s were Scottish dance music star Jimmy Shand, Roberto Inglez, a Scotsman (real name Bob Ingles) who specialized in Latin music, conductor Karl Haas, and the London Baroque Ensemble. But with over a billion copies sold of records and songs whose making he supervised (and they are still selling, with billions of pounds and dollars spent on them), he has earned a knighthood and been the subject of a 151-song, six-CD set devoted to his work as a music director. The Parlophone label in those days was part of the EMI organization, but it was a poor relation to such labels as Columbia (the British imprint, no relation to the American company of that name) and HMV Records. www.mtv.com /bands/az/martin_george/bio.jhtml   (2113 words)

HIP (Historically Informed Performance) - Part 7 This was one of the main characteristics of the Baroque as opposed to the Renaissance style of writing for groups of instruments, and Bach truly excelled in this category. Harnoncourt and other (despite strong resistance at the time) have convincingly demonstrated that original instruments are certainly most adequate for baroque music. Most people today have heard of Walter Dolmetsch as manufacturer of Blockflotes (misnamed 'recorder' as the word in period English means to record or practice which the blockflote does not do) found in almost every grammar school and higher levels of education. www.bach-cantatas.com /Topics/HIP-7.htm   (200 words)
