'Baroque' refers to certain ornate architectural styles of the 1500's through to the 1700's.
The changing styles have been broadly classified as Early Baroque, High Baroque, Late Baroque.

Baroque architecture is very extravagant. It has numerous decorative features that go well beyond simple enhancement.

Certain architectural terms, though not necessarily exclusive to the Baroque period, are often used when describing various aspects of Baroque features. For example:-

  • frescoes
  • puttos
  • façade
  • stucco
  • trompe l'oeil
  • Churrigueresque spatial decoration
  • ubiquitous rustication

How have the performances of Baroque music changed (in terms of tempi balance and timbre) from the Baroque period to today?

Performances of Baroque music have evolved significantly from the Baroque period to today, particularly in terms of tempo, balance, and timbre. Historically, performances were characterized by a more flexible approach to tempo, often influenced by the expressive needs of the music, whereas modern interpretations tend to favor more consistent and metronomic tempos. Additionally, the balance between instruments has shifted, with contemporary ensembles often prioritizing clarity and equality among voices, contrasting with the more hierarchical textures of the past. Finally, advances in instrument construction and recording technology have expanded the timbral possibilities, allowing for a broader range of sound colors and effects than were available during the Baroque era.
