English Baroque music is a style of music that emerged in England during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. It is characterized by its grandiose, ornate, and often complex musical structures. It is heavily influenced by the Italian Baroque style, but also incorporates elements of the French Baroque and German Baroque styles. English Baroque music is often characterized by its use of counterpoint, fugues, and complex harmonic progressions. It is also known for its use of the harpsichord, organ, and other keyboard instruments. English Baroque composers include Henry Purcell, George Frideric Handel, and John Blow.
