Baroque Music Anyone?

[Razare]

I have a good internet radio station I listen to (very few adds) that plays mostly baroque classical, the only kind of classical I enjoy.

Check out their Chillout station too.

They have a bunch of radio stations on their main page, if you like techno/trance. Their classical guitar and piano station isn't bad either.

I love baroque music.

I have a thing for baroque music too. My favorite hymns are all baroque period style, and I could listen to Bach's violin and cello suites for hours on end.

And luckily in my music theory class, we've mostly focused on baroque styles and music theory rules from that time period. It's a revelation knowing how they pulled off chord transitions so well, among other things, and being able to write my own music in that style while incorporating other things.

Thanks Razare! I like baroque and have wanted to learn more about it for quite some time now.

I love baroque music, as well as baroque dance (as in the movie Le Roi danse, for instance). Can't say I know a thing about musical theory, though.

(And maybe I dreamed about this thread last night. Would explain the odd harp and... yeah)

I like Baroque music. I love the classical (in the general sense) era.

The music is likely to be better because the lower-quality stuff has presumably been weeded out over the years. Unfortunately with contemporary music we must suffer the truckloads of dirt for the few little gems that exist. Future generations will benefit from time, just as we have.

I do like Baroque (and most classical for that matter). Thanks for those links! Will be sure to keep those for future use.

(I danced ballet for 15 years, the style of music brings back some wonderful memories for me.)
