BAROQUE AND
RENAISSANCE PERIOD
Interesting personalities
lived in this period. Great
names in science include
newton and Harvey,
molliere and Milton in
literature, and in art
Rembrandt, Bernini and
ruberns. In music, the two
leading composers were
johann Sebastian bach and
George Frederick handel.
BASSO CONTINUO
The beginning of the Baroque period
was marked by the emergence of the
solo song. This song was accompanied
by bass instrument such as the viola de
gamba, and early keyboard instrument,
the harpsichord. The accompaniment
part, which is called basso continuo or
figured bass or thorough bass consists
of a written bass line with numerals
below the notes. The basso continuo is
a dominant characteristic of the period
and was used in many types of music
from opera to instrumental pieces.
The bass
part is
played by
the viola de
gamba, a six
stringed
instrument,
and the
harmony is
directed to
be
improvised
by the
Cantata
Cantata came from the Italian word Cantare
which means To sing. It is a composition for
vocalist, instrumentalist, and chorus. It is based
on a poetic, narrative, either religious or secular
of a lyric or dramatic nature. The church cantata
was so special significance in germany as it was
used in the Lutheran church service. Like the
opera, it consist of arias, recitatives, duets, and
choruses and often employs chorale melodies
and text. A chorale is a hymn tune associated
with German Protestantism. It is characterrized
by a hold after a phrase.
George
Frederick
Handel (16851759) was the
other great
figure in
baroque music.
He was born in
Germany but

his life in other

Some of the finest
