Baroque Singing

Baroque singing is a style of vocal music that originated in the late 16th century and was popular throughout the 17th and 18th centuries. It is characterized by its ornate, complex melodic lines and its use of ornamentation. Baroque singing is often performed with a small ensemble of instruments, such as a harpsichord, lute, or theorbo. The vocal style is typically lyrical and expressive, with a wide range of dynamics and ornamentation. Baroque singing is often associated with the works of composers such as Bach, Handel, and Vivaldi.
