A community portal about Baroque music with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Baroque music describes an era and a set of styles of European classical music which were in widespread use between approximately 1600 to 1750. This era is said to begin in music after the Renaissance and to be followed by the Classical music era. The original meaning of "baroque" is "irregularly shaped pearl", a strikingly fitting characterization of the architecture and design of this period; later, the name came to be applied also to its music. Baroque music forms a major portion of the classical music canon. It is widely performed, studied and listened to. It is associated with composers and their works such as J.S. Bach's Fugues, George Friedrich Händel's Hallelujah Chorus from Messiah, Antonio Vivaldi's Four Seasons, and Claudio Monteverdi's Vespers of 1610. During the period, music theory, diatonic tonality, and imitative counterpoint developed. More elaborate musical ornamentation, as well as changes in musical notation and advances in the way instruments were played also appeared. Baroque music would see an expansion in the size, range and complexity of performance, as well as the establishment of opera as a type of musical performance. Many musical terms and concepts from this era are still in use.

For its debut concert of the new music season, the IU Baroque Orchestra on Sunday afternoon rushed St. Cecilia's Day by a month. The patron saint of musicians isn't supposed to be honored until Nov. 22. But who cares when the result of the decision is an opportunity to hear portions of Handel's "Ode for St. Cecilia's Day?"

The Venice-based orchestra specializes in vibrant, even daring performances of music by one of its city's native sons: Antonio Vivaldi. Hear the group, with feisty violin soloist Giuliano Carmignola, play an all-Vivaldi concert at Boston's Emmanuel Church.
