Most of the baroque music you hear today comes from which baroque period?
Music from the baroque period was great masterpieces from composers such as J.S. Bach and L. v. Beethoven. One of the major things the differenciates music from the Baroque period to any other is that the majority of music written at the time were composed and performed on a harpsichord, which is like a piano in many respects but it has no dynamic contrast and has two sets of keys (one on top, one on bottom) and pieces were written specificlly for the harpsichord and maybe a small ensemble but not a whole orchestra. Just as Pop music originated from America and reggae originated from Jamaica, Baroque music originated from Central Europe (Germany, Italy, Austria etc) and is still the home of Classical music today. Also, Baroque music usually consists of simple, easy-to-remember melodies because this was sort of the first real genre and composers were at a walking pace when it came to composing so did not want to over-complicate themselves (if that makes any sense at all!) That is all I know about the Baroque period, hope it helps!

Name a piece of orchestal music that contains the harpsichord?
The harpsichord has always had an important place in orchestral music. During the baroque period (c. 1600- 1750), almost all ensemble music required what was known as the basso continuo, which would involve some bass instrument, such as a cello or viol da gamba, doubled by the harpsichord (or organ, lute or guitar) playing chords from the bass line. The basso continuo could be used alone to accompany a solo instrument or singer, or in a large ensemble such as an orchestra to thicken the texture. Basically any piece from the baroque period requires basso continuo. Famous examples include any concerto by Bach or Vivaldi.After the baroque period, the harpsichord was sometimes called for because of its unique timbre, or to call to mind the sounds of the baroque. Examples of this include Respighi's "Ancient Airs and Dances" and Poulenc's concerto for Harpsichord "Concert Champetre."
