Name and describe three major stylistic aspects of Baroque music. (APEX)

  • terraced dynamics: sudden, rather than gradual, changes in volume
  • motor rhythm: same tempo throughout a piece
  • counterpoint / polyphony: more than one voice competing for the melodic line

I'm not sure what you mean by techniques, but the following were commonly found in baroque music: 1.Counterpoint, basically pitting two or more melodies against each other. It can be quite beautiful. 2. Ornamentation. Composers of this period favored melodies that had many flourishes and trils, etc. 3. Baroque compositions were written on a smaller scale than music of the Classical or Romantic period. Music was was written to be performed by groups of various sizes, but the orchestras of that period were much smaller than the ones we think of today. am not sure if those are the three you mean , but there are some techniques like : 1.using trilles like do re do re do re.. 2. always expressing ideas by dinamic change creasendo or dimuendo 3. having a theme which is always returned into throughtout the piece in a way or another
