a review of the baroque age
The time of baroque music, which ranged from 1600 to 1750, has shaped European music culture. In this era, instrumental music experienced its emancipation, and new forms of music such as the oratorio came up. The composers of this time, including the greats of Johann Sebastian Bach and Antonio Vivaldi, created works that are still very popular today.
The introduction of the general bass by Claudio Monteverdi, which contributed to the development of the monody, a solo singing with accompaniment, is particularly noteworthy. These developments not only led to a standardized orchestra, but also to a variety of formats and styles within baroque music.The baroque days are not only a tribute to this important era, but also a crowd puller that attracts music lovers from near and far. The numerous concerts and exhibitions in the Melk Abbey offer a wonderful opportunity to deal with the history and cultural importance of baroque music.
