Although nothing precludes our hypothesizing that the bass of the violins appeared at the same time as the other members of that family, the earliest evidence of its existence is to be found in the treatises of Agricola,1 Gerle,2 Lanfranco,3 and Jambe de Fer.4 Also significant is a fresco (1540- 42) attributed to Giulio Cesare Luini in Varallo Sesia in northern Italy, in which an early cello is represented (see Fig. 1). 1 Martin Agricola, Musica instrumentalis deudsch (Wittenberg, 1529; enlarged 5th ed., 1545), f.

  • Baroque Music 1600-1750 Definition
    Baroque Music 1600-1750 Definition The word “Baroque” means “a misshaped pearl”. This term was initially used to describe the flamboyant, decorative lines and curves of architecture from the 17th to mid 18th centuries (1650s- 1700s) & eventually used to describe the music of this period as well. The Baroque period was an important time in the history of the world. This era witnessed new exploration of ideas and innovations in the arts, literature and philosophy, to name a few: Sir Isaac Newton discovered the laws of gravity Galileo Galilei laid down the foundation of astronomy Sir William Harvey discovered the circulation of blood Historical overview Throughout the Baroque period, composers continued to be employed by the church and wealthy ruling class. This system of employment was called the patronage system. As the patron paid the composer for each work and usually decided what kind of piece the composer should write, this limited the composer’s creative freedom. Monarchs (Royalty) had absolute power. The nobility owned land and were entertained by hunting and music. Peasants worked hard for their bread and butter and could relax after hours. Italy was the hub of new culture and led the way. This was an age of paradox/contrast Church vs. State Monarchy vs. Bourgeoisie Aristocracy vs. Affluent Middle Class Scientific Research vs. Superstition, Witchcraft Importance of humanity vs. Religious Persecution Music responded to this paradox Vocal vs. Instrumental Church Modes vs. Tonality (Major, minor) Sacred Music vs. Secular Music Polyphonic
