  4. Baroque MusicThe Vocabulary

  5. Counterpoint: Type of compositional technique in which two melodies combine to create the harmony, instead of one harmony and chords to accompany it. VOCABULARY Short example of "Third Species" counterpoint ( play MIDI (help·info)) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Species4.png

  6. VOCABULARY • Improvisation: • Term referring to the spontaneous performance of music without previous preparation or any written notes. • Improvisation can be seen in music of the Baroque era, where ornamentation and realization of figured bass was common.

  7. VOCABULARY • Fugue: • A form of composition in which a theme or subject is introduced by one voice, and is imitated by other voices in succession. • Usually only the first few notes of the subject are imitated exactly, then each voice deviates slightly until the next time it enters again with the subject. • Generally the voices overlap and weave in and out of each other forming a continuous, tapestry-like texture. Example of a tonal answer in J.S. Bach's Fugue No. 16 in G Minor, BWV 861, from the Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 1. ( Listen ) The first note of the subject, D (in red), is a prominent dominant note, demanding that the first note of the answer (in blue) sounds as the tonic, G. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugue

  8. VOCABULARY • Figured bass:The bass part -generally of a Baroque composition- that is marked so as to indicate the harmonies that should go with each note. The bottom staff shows the figured bass, the Grand Staff above shows what the musician could play!

  9. VOCABULARY • Ornamentation:Decorative notes of short duration added to compositions to emphasize certain notes and to add flavor to the composition. • Ornamentation is particularly prominent in the music of the Baroque era and is not limited to specific instruments, but may be performed on almost any instrument, including the voice. An extreme example of ornamentation as a fioritura from Chopin'sNocturne in D flat major. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ornament_(music)
