Mozart isn't baroque. Baroque is characterized by the Harpsichord, a piano like instrument that was widely used during the era. Mozart is classical/romantic era.

I suggest just googling it, because I didn't retain any composers from the baroque period during that part of class.

well this is easy:





Just took a screen grab of Classify, a spotify app I've been using for my classical music fix. Select eras at the top and there sits Baroque (which is classified more as a time period than what instruments were used b/c mozart was a Harpsichord master[virtuoso]). Select whatever era and it has artists and you can choose from them or top songs or top playlists or whatever.

If a piece of music is partly or wholly in a baroque style then it seems mean spirited not to regard it as baroque. As if to be baroque you had to live no later than 1760 and wear a wig.
 
Brian Wilson's Pet Sounds and some R.E.M. albums, for example, have been described as 'baroque'.

Modern music being described as "baroque" isn't in the same sense. That's usually a slight on the work, generally pointing obvious pretense or overly complex writing/arrangements (to the point of obfuscation of meaning or point). Saying REM or Pet Sounds are "baroque" is like saying they're pointlessly complex.

Again, Baroque is characteristic of the time period. As it was shown in that picture, there's medieval, renaissance, baroque, classical, romantic and then further eras.


Songs of today can have baroque characteristics, but they wouldn't be baroque songs. That's like saying some composer writes a piece today and it's classical because it sounds similar. It's not because it was not written in that era.

But this is probably my favourite Baroque composition, and I'm sure most of you know it even if you don't think you do (skip to 1:17 if you don't recognize it immediately):

@Satanas

I got chills when all the violins harmonized in that second video.

Another Baroque composition I really enjoy. Pergolesi was the last Baroque composer I believe (though he was around for only a brief period of time compared to those who had begun composing before him)
