Although it lies far back, running roughly from about 1600 to
1750, the Baroque period is far from forgotten and Baroque music is
played widely today as well, exercising numerous musicians and
attracting rather substantial audiences. It experienced the emergence of
a new sort of music, increasingly secular and increasingly good
listening, if you will, and also the start of opera. Some of the Baroque
composers appear among the most popular of all time, such as Bach,
Handel and Vivaldi. So yes, this is a book for researchers, but it is
also a good book for anyone who enjoys this music.
The Historical
Dictionary of Baroque Music certainly fills a significant space in the
whole sub-series on music, since it tells us much more not only about
the music but also the age that generated it. This is done particularly
well in an insightful introduction, with the flow of events traced by
the chronology. The dictionary section fills in the missing details with
over 400 entries on the most important composers and musicians, some of
the musical works themselves, important places and institutions, and a
smattering of technical terms. The bibliography directs us to further
reading.
