what type of music was in the baroque period
Baroque music forms a major portion of the classical music canon, being widely studied, performed, and listened to.he negative use of the word comes from a description by Charles de Brosses of the ornate and heavily ornamented architecture of the Pamphili Palace in Rome. Although the term was applied to architecture and art criticism in the 19th century, it wasn't until the 20th century that the term baroque was applied to music.
