"Music - a Gift from Heaven, and it can never be bought or sold
..."
Baroque music is the style of
Western music extending approximately from 1600 to 1750.... This era follows the Renaissance and was
followed in turn by the Classical era. The word "baroque" comes from
the Portuguese word barroco, meaning "misshapen pearl", a negative
description of the ornate and heavily ornamented music of this period; later,
the name came to be applied also to its architecture...
Baroque music
forms a major portion of the classical music canon, being widely studied,
performed, and listened to. Composers of the baroque era include Johann
Sebastian Bach, George Frideric Handel, Alessandro Scarlatti, Antonio Vivaldi,
Georg Philipp Telemann, Jean-Baptiste Lully, Arcangelo Corelli, Claudio
Monteverdi, Jean-Philippe Rameau and Henry Purcell....
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...
The impact of music on people ... It
should be borne in mind that within each genre there are a variety of styles.
Some of them are active and have energy, while others are passive and help
relax...
“ Slow music
of the Baroque (Bach, Handel, Vivaldi, Corelli) gives a sense of stability,
order, security and creates a spiritual enabling environment that is suitable
for employment or work...“
Johann Sebastian Bach(21 March 1685 – 28 July
1750) was a German composer, organist, harpsichordist, violist, and violinist
whose sacred and secular works for choir, orchestra, and solo instruments drew
together the strands of the Baroque period and brought it to its ultimate
maturity... Although he did not introduce new forms, he enriched the prevailing
German style with a robust contrapuntal technique, an unrivalled control of
harmonic and motivic organisation, and the adaptation of rhythms, forms and textures
from abroad, particularly from Italy and France...

George Frideric Handel (23 February 1685 – 14
April 1759) was a German-British Baroque composer, famous for his operas,
oratorios, anthems and organ concertos... Handel is regarded as one of the
greatest composers of all time, and not just for his Water Music, and Music for
the Royal Fireworks. Since the late 1960s, with the revival of baroque music
and original instrument, interest in Handel's opera seria has also grown.
Handel composed forty operas in about thirty years; some are considered as
masterpieces, with many sweeping arias and much admired improvisations. His
operas contain remarkable human characterization, by a composer not known for
his love affairs...

Antonio Lucio Vivaldi (4 March 1678 – 28 July
1741), nicknamed il Prete Rosso ("The Red Priest") because of his red
hair, was an Italian Baroque composer, priest, and virtuoso violinist, born in
Venice. Vivaldi is recognized as one of the greatest Baroque composers, and his
influence during his lifetime was widespread over Europe. Vivaldi is known
mainly for composing instrumental concertos, especially for the violin, as well
as sacred choral works and over 40 operas. His best known work is a series of
violin concertos known as The Four Seasons... Though Vivaldi's music was well
received during his lifetime, it later declined in popularity until its
vigorous revival in the first half of the 20th century. Today, Vivaldi ranks
among the most popular and widely recorded Baroque composers....

Arcangelo Corelli (17 February 1653 – 8 January
1713) was an Italian violinist and composer of Baroque music... The style of
execution introduced by Corelli and preserved by his pupils, such as Francesco
Geminiani, Pietro Locatelli, and many others, was of vital importance for the
development of violin playing. It has been said that the paths of all of the
famous violinist-composers of 18th-century Italy led to Arcangelo Corelli who
was their "iconic point of reference...
