BaroqueMusic |
AV |
Western art music composed from approximately 1580 to 1760. Common-practice tonality
began to emerge in the Baroque era, moving from the Renaissance era focus on independent
melodic lines toward a key-centric view of tonality and an emphasis on formal separation
of bass, melody, and accompaniment. Baroque music often features elaborate musical
ornamentation and looser implied rules regarding counterpoint and dissonance than
Renaissance music. Western musical groups and forms expanded in size, range, complexity
and variety during the Baroque era - forms such as the opera, cantata, oratorio, solo
concerto, sonata, and fugue emerged during this time. In contrast to later Classical
eras, Baroque performers were often skilled improvisers of melodic lines and accompaniment,
and improvisation and ornamentation were fundamental elements of many Baroque performances.
The Baroque era saw the increasing preeminence of instruments and instrumental forms
- composers began to write for specific instruments and instrumental ensembles with
texture in mind, as opposed to the earlier Renaissance focus on vocal music and the
limitation of instrumental music largely to transcriptions of vocal music.

BarrelOrgan |
AV |

driven by weights or springs. Pieces of music are encoded onto wooden barrels (or
cylinders), which are analogous to the keyboard of the traditional pipe organ. A person
(or in some cases, a trained animal) which plays a barrel organ is known as an organ
grinder.

with tremolo picking, double-kick drumming, and unconventional song structure. When
composing music, guitarists often use scales, intervals and chord progressions that

With roots in blues, jazz, and the traditional ballads and dance tunes of the British
Isles, by way of Appalachian musical tradition. Pioneered by and named for Bill Monroe
and the Blue Grass Boys, who began playing in the style in the mid-1940s. Traditional
instrumentation includes the guitar, mandolin, fiddle, banjo and bass, though bluegrass
groups may feature other instruments such as the dobro, piano, and accordion. Guitarists
typically flatpick, bassists play the root and fifth in a pizzicato style, and fiddlers
play in thirds and fifths while vocalists harmonize in two to four parts, often with
the highest voice singing dissonant or modal harmony. Bluegrass is often virtuosic
and rapidly played. As in jazz, different instruments typically take turns stating
and improvising around the melody.

ingredients inherited from ragtime and the blues of the Mississippi Delta, Boogie

performed for dance and characteristically identified as a percussive and virtuosic,
piano-based blues technique, Boogie Woogie's musical identity is fundamentally defined
by a rapid, two-handed piano conversation -- comprised of a left- handed bass (i.e.
a walking or ostinato bass pattern) and a melodically-playful, often wildly-improvised,
right-hand -- chronicled within a twelve-bar blues song-form.
