Chapter 19: The Baroque Spirit
Study Plan
Key Points
- The Baroque era (1600–1750) was a time of turbulent change in politics, science, and the arts.
- It was also a time of religious wars (Protestants vs. Catholics) and of exploration and colonization of the New World.
- The era saw the rise of middle-class culture, with music-making centered in the home, church, and at the universities (in a group called the collegium musicum); art portrayed scenes of bourgeois life.
- In the New World, music served religion through the singing of psalms, important to both Protestants and Catholics (CP 6).
