Get to know the major baroque composers better through their portraits.      BAROQUE COMPOSERS' PORTRAIT GALLERY What is the essence of baroque music? Baroque music expresses order, the fundamental order of the universe. Yet it is always lively and tuneful. Music reflects the mood of the times, then as now as always. Follow the development of music through this brief outline, from the earliest times to the present day, with baroque music in historical context.      BAROQUE MUSIC DEFINED A Double CD AlbumBaroque Music Sampler A Double CD AlbumBach's Music Sampler Antonio VivaldiBiography   |   CD George Frideric HandelBiography Henry PurcellBiography Music and its performance has its fashions, like everything else. There are currently two schools of thought in the performance of baroque music: the “modern” and the “authentic” – though both names are misleading. A little knowledge of these alternatives will guide you in your subsequent choice of recordings.      BAROQUE MUSIC PERFORMANCE A talk on Authentic Performance by George Malcolm Tempo Indications in Baroque Music and interpretation today Violins Old and New      A blind test between four instruments. The Baroque German Harpsichord – an illustrated historical analysis. Why not delve yet further into the world of baroque performance? Read about one of Bach's favorite keyboard instruments, custom-built to his own specifications, yet now almost impossible to hear on record.      The Lute-harpsichord: A Forgotten Instrument Or discover the difference between the Italian violin bow which we know today, and the German baroque bow which is never seen nor heard today, though popular in baroque Germany (check the accompanying illustration from 1732). The vital difference: the German bow can play chords - which makes Bach's pieces for solo violin infinitely more interesting, not to mention accurate!      The Baroque German Violin Bow: A Lost Art Biographical notes on some of the better-known baroque composers - Albinoni, JS Bach, Corelli, Geminiani, Handel, Scarlatti, Telemann and others - plus notes on influential musical centers and developments in different countries, illustrating the origins of “baroque”, and the breadth of baroque musical “globalisation”!      BAROQUE COMPOSERS & MUSICIANS – an overall survey.
