Who are the big composing names of the Baroque period?īaroque has many poster boys, like JS Bach, Handel, Vivaldi, Corelli, Monteverdi (he’s still about), Telemann, Scarlatti, Couperin… the list goes on (not Liszt, though, he comes later). Instrument-wise, strings really come into their own, along with woodwind, valveless horns and trumpets and the timpani. With the orchestra comes the very early signs of the symphony, while concertos are a popular format for composers. Then there’s opera, that’s new too, along with all manner of other ‘types’ of work. Major and minor keys are used (instead of ‘modes’), notation systems are updated, forms (like the Fugue) developed and a little thing called the orchestra rears its head. Classical music kind of comes into its own during this time, the forms, structures and techniques we are familiar with today are set out in the Baroque. So, music really begins to dazzle, composers – and musicians – start to show off a bit. But now, it’s time to re-decorate! The Baroque is all about excess and ornament. Okay, so the curtains are open and the light’s streaming in. Recommended recording: The Hilliard Ensemble – Renaissance Music (Erato)
Who are the famous composers in the Renaissance period?Ĭomposers like Josquin des Prez, Thomas Tallis, Gesualdo and John Dowland… plus the likes of Monteverdi, Gibbons and Byrd, whose music-making would go on into the next period.
Music is revived, reborn if you will, composers allowed to think beyond the church walls. This period is a bit like the curtains finally being opened in Miss Havisham’s dark, dusty old sitting room, the light streaming in at last.
