 What is It

Music of the Baroque Period (1685 – 1750)

The word Baroque is derived from the Portuguese word “barroco” which
means “pearl of irregular shape”. Some of the great composers of this time
were George Friedrich Handel, Johann Sebastian Bach, Claudio Monteverdi,
and Antonio Vivaldi.

Music Genres of Baroque Music

1. Concerto
2. Concerto Grosso
3. Fugue
4. Oratorio
5. Chorale

Famous Composers of the Baroque Period

1. Johann Sebastian Bach

Born: Germany
March 21, 1685, Died: July 28, 1750
J.S. Bach came from a family of musicians. He
was taught to play violin by his father who was
then the town musician in Eisanach. He entered
school at age 7 where he was taught religion and
other subjects. He became orphaned at age ten. His
brother, a church organist provided for him. Bach’s
beautiful soprano singing voice helped him to
be accepted at a school in Luӥeberg. A few years later, his voice changed
and Bach focused his attention to playing the violin and harpsichord.

Bach was a religious man. His personal and deep faith is shown in his
sacred music. He was known for his compositions for organ, orchestra, and
oratorio. His most important and long – term position was as “cantor” at St.
Thomas Church.

His works include:

• Concerto Grosso
• Masses
• Cantatas
• Fugues
• Works for clavichord and harpsichord

11 | P a g e
 3. Antonio Vivaldi
Venice, March 4, 1678 to Vienna, July 28, 1741
Antonio Lucio Vivaldi "The Red Priest" because of his
red hair, was an Italian Baroque composer, Catholic
priest and a virtuoso violinist. Recognized as one of
the greatest Baroque composers, 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 forty
operas. He entered the priesthood and was ordained in 1703. Vivaldi is well
known for giving the strings a major role in his compositions.

His most famous piece is The Four Seasons. This composition is a

series of four violin concerti depicting each of the seasons, “Spring”,
“Summer”, “Autumn” and “Winter”.

4. George Friedrich Händel

Germany, February 23, 1685, London, April 14, 1759

George Händel was the second son from the
second marriage of a pastor. Despite his father’s
opposition, George secretly taught himself to play the
harpsichord. At age 7, he gained access to a church
organ and started to play. A Duke heard him play
and insisted on giving him a formal music education.
Under Zachau, organist of Halle cathedral, he studied
counterpoint, canon and fugue.

Händel is remembered for his operas and oratorios. Handel became

England’s favorite composer. He had given English audiences music that in
variety and interest rivalled anything they could remember. Handel lost both
of his eyesight in 1753. When he conducted his oratorio, “Samson,” a few in
the audience were unaware that he had lost his eyesight. The Messiah is
Hӓndel’s most famous creation and the very well known “Hallelujah” chorus
is part of Hӓndel’s Messiah.

The Messiah was written in the space of twenty four days in London but
it was in Dublin when The Messiah was first performed and became an
instant success.
