Derived from the Portuguese word barroco literally meaning misshapen pearl, it became the critics' derogatory epithet for the richest and most diverse cultural period in the western world.
Baroque relates to a revolution of style in the arts and architecture that developed in the 17th & 18th century in Italy, taking the rest of Europe by storm and lasting about 150 years. The style owed much to the history of the time and bigging up the excesses and exploits of the two major forces vying to control Europe. Typically the art and architecture had exaggerating form, shape and embellishment. Like the music it was over flamboyant, large and fantastic. The art was very literal and dramatic, wringing emotion from every brush stroke.
The music was equally overworked, the brilliance of Bach, Handel, Vivaldi, Scarlatti, Purcell and Telemann etc being to the fore.
