Although it lies far back, running roughly from about 1600 to 1750,
the Baroque period is far from forgotten and Baroque music is
played widely today as well, exercising numerous musicians and
attracting rather substantial audiences. It experienced the
emergence of a new sort of music, increasingly secular and
increasingly good listening, if you will, and also the start of
opera. Some of the Baroque composers appear among the most popular
of all time, such as Bach, Handel and Vivaldi. So yes, this is a
book for researchers, but it is also a good book for anyone who
enjoys this music. The Historical Dictionary of Baroque Music
certainly fills a significant space in the whole sub-series on
music, since it tells us much more not only about the music but
also the age that generated it. This is done particularly well in
an insightful introduction, with the flow of events traced by the
chronology. The dictionary section fills in the missing details
with over 400 entries on the most important composers and
musicians, some of the musical works themselves, important places
and institutions, and a smattering of technical terms. The
bibliography directs us to further reading.
