Guitare Music Sheet : Baroque Music

Baroque music describes a period or style of European classical music approximately extending from 1600 to 1750.[1] This era is said to begin in music after the Renaissance and was followed by the Classical music era. The original meaning of "baroque" was "misshapen pearl", a strikingly fitting characterization of the architecture of this period; later, the name came to be applied also to its music. Baroque music forms a major portion of the classical music canon, being widely studied, performed, and listened to. It is associated with composers such as Claudio Monteverdi, Antonio Vivaldi, George Frideric Handel, Arcangelo Corelli, and Johann Sebastian Bach. The baroque period saw the development of functional tonality. During the period composers and performers used more elaborate musical ornamentation; made changes in musical notation, and developed new instrumental playing techniques. Baroque music expanded the size, range and complexity of instrumental performance, and also established opera as a musical genre. Many musical terms and concepts from this era are still in use today.

Le baroque couvre une grande période dans l’histoire de la musique, s’étendant environ du début du XVIIe siècle au milieu du XVIIIe siècle, de façon plus ou moins uniforme selon les pays considérés. De façon nécessairement schématique, l’esthétique et l’inspiration baroques succèdent à celles de la Renaissance et précèdent celles du classicisme.

Le mot baroque vient vraisemblablement du portugais barroco qui désigne des perles de forme irrégulière. On l’a inventé pour qualifier, au début de façon péjorative, l’architecture baroque venue d’Italie. Ce n’est que plus tard que le terme a servi à qualifier la musique qui lui était contemporaine. Toute connotation péjorative a disparu depuis longtemps et le terme tend davantage à désigner la période de composition que le caractère de l’œuvre.
