Baroque music

Harpsichord spinet Sackbuts viol and harp
Wind- flute, oboe bassoon recorder,
Baroque --> barocco --> bizarre
Overly exaggerated and ornamented
Signing is very Oprah like and Oprah appeared in this era of music
Every piece of music is different like an assortment of sweets
Tension and release, so it builds up and then it's resolved and it calms down abit
The music has dignity and is elegant and very elaborate
Mordents and grace notes.
1600-1750's

(1643-1704) Marc Antoine carpentier

Ornamented- frilly, lots of twiddly things and additional notes, only to make the music more impressive.
