Baroque music is the type of music originating in Italy, Baroque started in the late 16th century but didnt begin to be noticed until the 17th century where it then became very popular.Baroque expanded towards Germany and South America in the 18th century. Some Baroque artists at the time that were the best of the best were Caravaggio and Annibale Carracci
they were very popular in the Baroque period. The Baroque period was basicaly a time of European music where art or even how people seen art changed people learned to appreciate art that seemed somewhat odd or just strange. I personaly like baroque music it has a very soothing vibe to it. Baroque Music was even characterized by its use of counterpoint. Basso Continuo is when one or more bass instruments are played along with a keyboard this was probly the most distinct characteristic of Boroque music. http://library.thinkquest.org/15413/history/history-bar.htm
