Baroque Period

The word "baroque" means "misshapen pearl" which suggests the generally ornate and stylized approach to works of art, architecture, and music during these years. This is the age of such master composers as Vivaldi, J.S. Bach, and Handel; as well as the birth of opera.

Solo Vocal Music

The voice, of course, is the most natural of instruments, and given its unique ability to deliver text as well as music, it has always held a place of prominence among composers and listeners alike. The many genres involved range from chant to art songs to opera, and beyond.
