What does the word Baroque mean?

Baroque is a French word from Portugese origins that means an irregularly shaped pearl.

Originally the term Baroque was used for the art works created during this period in that there was an inherent strangeness and extravagance associated with them. Only recently has the term also been used to include the music, which is anything but slightly flawed.

Characteristics of Baroque Music

Use of a Basso Continuo - harpsichord and cello providing the base of the composition.

Emphasized contrasts in texture, pace and volume.

Strong use of improvisation in both melodies, and the embellishments of those melodies.

Most importantly - if you hear a harpsichord, it’s almost always Baroque.

Baroque music differs greatly from Medieval and

Renaissance music.

Composers used mixed groups of instruments to perform works of great complexity.

Music was no longer only functional, it was made to be enjoyed as it’s own entity.

Composers began to search for inspiration for their compositions in not only the church, but in nature.

Baroque music is very similar to jazz in it’s use of improvisation and figured bass.
