	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 often strives for a greater level of emotional intensity than Renaissance music, and a Baroque piece often uniformly depicts a single particular emotion (exultation, grief, piety, and so forth; see doctrine of the affections).
		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.

	baroque - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about baroque

	Baroque Composers — Overview, individual biographies
		Typical of baroque musicians active in Rome was the composer and violinist Arcangelo Corelli (1653-1713), whose style of playing became the basis for the violin technique of the 18th and 19th centuries, and whose chamber music compositions were far-reaching in their influence.
		Many eminent composers of the baroque period, notably Handel for example, sojourned in Rome, and Corelli's influence was to spread itself throughout Europe.
		Thus German composers were attracted to the fugue, the canon and passacaglia for their basis of fundamental form, pattern and unity.

	[smt-list] Re: Baroque rhythm section
		I'm guessing that folks in the biological sciences would not have the difficulty distinguishing between homology (which points to the common evolutionary lineage of two entities) and analogy (which points to the common function of two entities) that we seem to be having here.
		Analogies between the performance practices we've labeled "Baroque continuo" and "Jazz rhythm section" are so clear (and are mentioned in every music appreciation text I've ever glanced at, not to mention Leonard Bernstein's "The Joy of Music") as to need no further establishment.
		The evolution of analogous pulse-keeping ensembles for dance music (and the need for the musicians who are being used as time-keepers and pulse-beaters to make the job, and the result, somewhat more interesting) in many different idioms and cultures should not raise an eyebrow.

		A composer of the late renneisanse / early baroque era, he is actually most famous for the first real opera, "L'Orfeo" (1607), but I'm more in love with his sacred music, especially the 1610 Vespers and the "Selva Morale e spirituale", which I regard as a true masterpiece.
