| DoveSong.com -- About Baroque Music (1194 words) |
 | The music of the early baroque was composed in a style that was very similar the music of the renaissance era. |
| The baroque era culminated with the exalted music of J.S. Bach, whose three sons were among the first exponents of the new music of the classical era: the era that followed the baroque. |
| With the passionate accents of its music and the wide arches of its freely flowing melodies, it stands alone in the operatic literature; only the falstaff of the seventy-nine-year-old Verdi is comparable, both in its tragic disillusionment and in its bewitching poetry, to Monteverdi's Poppea, composed at the age of seventy-five. |
