Intro

MiddleBaroque

Approximately from 1630 to 1680, baroque music saw the widespread introduction of chamber music, or music for small ensembles of instrumentalists, along with the emergence of the cantata, oratorio, and opera. In vocal music, the status of melody and harmony were raised to an equal level with words, and totally instrumental styles of music began to become more popular. Conducting as a method to hold ensembles of instrumentalists together began to emerge in the Middle Baroque. Archetypical composers of the Middle Baroque include the French court composer Jean-Baptiste Lully and the violinist and innovator of the concerto grosso, Arcangelo Corelli.
