the baroque stared in 1650 and ended in 1750 when js bach died
Music from the baroque period was great masterpieces from composers such as J.S. Bach and L. v. Beethoven. One of the major things the differenciates music from the Baroque period to any other is that the majority of music written at the time were composed and performed on a harpsichord, which is like a piano in many respects but it has no dynamic contrast and has two sets of keys (one on top, one on bottom) and pieces were written specificlly for the harpsichord and maybe a small ensemble but not a whole orchestra. Just as Pop music originated from America and reggae originated from Jamaica, Baroque music originated from Central Europe (Germany, Italy, Austria etc) and is still the home of Classical music today. Also, Baroque music usually consists of simple, easy-to-remember melodies because this was sort of the first real genre and composers were at a walking pace when it came to composing so did not want to over-complicate themselves (if that makes any sense at all!) That is all I know about the Baroque period, hope it helps!

Well, the Renaissance is divided into two parts: early and high. So really, the High Renaissance would be considered the transitional period between Early Renaissance and Baroque. In most of Europe, the High Renaissance lasted until about 1600, when the Baroque period began. In Italy, the High Renaissance technically lasted until 1600, but around 1520, another artistic movement became popular: Mannerism. Mannerism was a movement dominated by complicated, intellectual art. Allegories, distorted figures, and complicated compositions are characteristic of this movement. Other Italian artists persisted in the High Renaissance style, so that time frame (1520 to 1600) is still considered to be part of the High Renaissance.
