This textbook is a concise survey of European music from 1600
through 1750 and is designed for junior/senior level courses in
Baroque music. These are the centuries of the composers Palestrina,
Monteverdi, Schutz, Lully, and Bach-years that saw the culminating
development of the polyphonic motet and madrigal, the invention of
opera and oratorio, and the emergence of such instrumental genres
as sonata, suite, and concerto, key forms in which composers have
continued to write to the present day. The text features a survey
of Baroque vocal music organized by chronology and genre, followed
by chapters on keyboard music and instrumental music, and an
epilogue on the gallant style that emphasizes the continuation of
that tradition into what we call the Classical style. The text
balances historical context with musical analysis, emphasizes
interpretation and the music's historical performing practices, and
provides concise definitions of terms and basic explanations of key
theoretical issues. The author's website includes a discography
there for the scores included in the anthology.
