CHARACTERISTICS
WHAT IS BAROQUE
MUSIC? Baroque composers focused heavily on upper and lower tones, or on
the parts to be played by bass and soprano. This often left those

CHARACTERISTICS own work.

Baroque compositions also focused heavily on layered melodies, which

MUSIC meant that the same notes would often be repeated throughout a
FUNCTION 2 composition, albeit played by different musicians. As a result, music
that was originally written to teach how to play an instrument soon was
as popular as concert pieces.
INSTRUMENTS
The various parts in a given piece of music now meant that the size of
orchestras grew substantially during this period. Composers required
3 multiple violins in many pieces, for example. Further, the types of
instruments available also made this growth of orchestra size
inevitable.
