Baroque Music

Lesson 1: Evolution of Baroque Music


- The term Baroque refers to the music written during the period extending roughly from 1600 to
1750, beginning with the operas in Italy and ending with the death of Johann Sebastian Bach,
whose works became successful during this era.
- In the latter part of 18th century, the dominant style of baroque music stressed on elegance and
simplicity. Baroque is a French word which means “an irregularly shaped pearl.”
- Italian composers mastered the “madrigal” setting in music. It is a polyphonc text setting in
which it reflects the emotional intensity of the poetry. Claudio Monteverdi was chief among the
musicians who experimented on vocal music.
- The early Italian cantata was a form in which a story was performed by a solo singer through
recitatives (musical declamation usually in narrative and dialogue parts of opera and oratorio,
sung in the rhythm of ordinary speech) and Arias (a long-accompanied song for a solo voice,
typically one in an opera or oratorio).
- An oratorio is a large-scale musical work for orchestra and voices. It is a narrative on a
religious theme performed without the use of costume, props and less interaction of the
characters.
- The sonata, it means group of slow and fast dance movements. Or, it is an abstract form with
contrasting slow and fast sections. The latter was known as the “church sonata.”
- Tonality is another Baroque’s era’s novel element. It is the presence of a musical key in a
piece of music.
- It also demonstrates two baroque forms: the prelude and the fugue. The prelude was freely
invented while the fugue is the complex and tightly structures form. A prelude is a short piece
of music for the piano or organ. A fugue is a piece of music that begins with a simple tune
which is then repeated by other voices or instrumental parts with small variations.
- National schools emerged during the late baroque. One French trait was the use of dotted
rhythms which gave way to dance movements as well as preludes and overtures.

Lesson 2: Madrigal Vocal Music


- A madrigal is a song sung by several singers usually without any musical instruments. The
word Madrigal is the name given to two important types of secular vocal music.
- It was first cultivated in the 14th century Italy and the other in the 16th century Italy and early 17th
century England.
- The first has vocal music that consists of two or three tercets of verse, each followed by a
couplet called ritornello. The main melody is the top voice, which is more florid than the lower
parts.
- Poetically, the 26th century madrigal is much freer in form than the fisrt setting. The musical
setting emphasizes on the mood and meaning of words and phrases of the text rather than the
formal structure.
- The first madrigal was printed in 1530.
- Madrigal composers: Italian Costanzo Festa and Phillipe Verdelot; Adrian Willaert and Jacob
Arcadeit and Cipriano de Rore.

- By the late 16th century, the madrigal had become the dominant form od secular music in
Europe; progressive composers were Cario Gesualdo, Claudio Monteverdi, Luca Marenzio
which make harmonic experiments.

Lesson 3: Cantata
- These are vocal compositions with instrumental accompaniment, consisting of several
movements based on related text segments.
- Two types of Cantata that flourished between 1600-1750:
1. Secular Italian solo cantata. It was the original simple strophic piece with varied stanzas-
it is the simplest and most durable of musical forms, elaborating a piece of music by
repetition of a single formal section.
-This additive method is the musical analogue and repeated stanzas in poetry or lyrics,
where the text repeats the same rhyme scheme from one stanza to the next.

-Recitatives- musical declamation usually in narrative and dialogue parts of opera and
oratorio, sung in the rhythm of ordinary speech
-Arias- a long accompanies song for a solo voice, typically one in an opera or oratorio.

2. German religious cantata.


It is usually for soloists, chorus and orchestra – used as part of the principal Lutheran
worship service.
Famous artists in this genre were Johann Sebastian Bach and George Phillip Telemann
who wrote almost 300 and 700 cantatas respectively.
- A famous example of cantata is Bach’s no. 80 which is based on the chorale “Ein feste Burg ist
unser Gott” (A safe Stronghold our God is still).
- Other cantata composers were Alessandro Scarlott (1660-1725) who wrote secular cantatas.
In the 20th century, cantata was used by composers like Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971) and
Benhamin Britten.
- Today, the term cantata came to apply to any and all form of accompanied songs mostly used
in church services and even Christmas Cantatas.
- A Christmas cantata is a cantata music for voice or voices in several movements. It requires
mixed choir voices: soprano, alto, tenor, bass and other voices.

Lesson 4: Sonata
- Sonata is a piece of classical music written either for a single instrument, or for one instrument
and a piano.
- Along with the symphony (piece of music written to be played by an orchestra), concerto (piece
of music written for one or more solo instruments and an orchestra), and string quartet (group
of four musicians who play stringed instruments), the sonata is one of the grandest forms of
instrumental music.

Rome symphony Orchestra London Symphony orchestra String quartet

- Most sonatas were conceived as non-descriptive which means they were composed for
compete pleasure of playing and hearing them, without a specific function or occasion.
- The early sonatas could be either for solo instruments or for small ensembles.
