Baroque Music
Dictionary Meaning: Baroque (Ba-Rok) a 17th century style of music characterised by extensive use of ornamentation.The English word baroque came from the Italian word borocco, which means bizarre, although a better translation which more accurately reflects the sense, would be exuberant. This word was originally used in the 1860’s to describe highly decorated 17th and 18th century religious and public buildings in Germany and Austria. Later, in the early-to-mid 1900’s, the term baroque was given to music from the 17th and 18th century, and now days, the term baroque refers to a type or genre of music which originated around 1600. (The period from 1700 to 1750 is seen as the ‘high Baroque’ period) There are many important details involved in creating baroque music, but ornaments are a crucial part of all baroque music. Ornaments, like Trills and Mordents, are often used in music written in the baroque era.
