This program covers the music of the Baroque period, which ran from 1600 to 1750. Characterized by elaborate compositions, the decreasing influence of the church meant that composers had a greater degree of freedom to work on other music (beyond that for religious occasions). This period also saw the rise of instrumentalist suites and concertos, which created the basis for the classical forms to come. We also see the rise of opera during this period. Key composers from this period include Bach, Handel, Purcell, and Vivaldi.
