Editing The Baroque Era (section)

== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> ==
* '''Baroque Era''' — A period of Western music (~1600–1750) characterized by "Grandeur," "Ornate Detail," and "Dramatic Contrast."
* '''Basso Continuo''' — The "Rhythm Section" of the Baroque: a "Continuous Baseline" usually played by a 'Harpsichord' and a 'Cello.'
* '''Fugue''' — A "Complex Musical Puzzle" (Bach): a piece where "One Theme" is "Repeated and Overlapped" by different voices in "Mathematical Order."
* '''Opera''' — A "Story" told through "Music and Singing," invented in Italy around 1600 (e.g. 'Monteverdi').
* '''Concerto''' — A piece where a "Solo Instrument" (like a 'Violin') "Competes and Cooperates" with a "Full Orchestra."
* '''Oratorio''' — A "Religious Opera" performed without costumes or acting (e.g., Handel’s 'Messiah').
* '''Counterpoint''' — The "Art" of combining "Two or More Independent Melodies" so they sound "Harmonious" together.
* '''Harpsichord''' — The "Keyboard of the Era": it "Plucks" the strings, creating a "Sharp, Metallic" sound (Unlike the 'Piano' which hammers them).
* '''Ornamentation''' — The practice of "Adding Extra Notes" (Trills, Graces) to a melody to make it "Fancy" and "Expressive."
* '''Tonality''' — The "System" of "Major and Minor Keys" that was "Standardized" during this era.
