Online\u00a0Resources<\/h2>\r\nThere are a number of websites worth checking out when studying the Baroque period. Many of these sites contain extensive information that would take quite a bit of time to review completely. I will direct you to specific portions of these websites that you should examine, but I encourage you to poke around these sites and dig up as much information as you can. Don\u2019t feel that you have to limit yourselves to the specific sections I link you to.\r\n
    \r\n\t
  1. Chronology<\/a>\r\n<\/a>This isn\u2019t something you need to spend hours and hours on, but I\u2019d like you to scroll through this chronological listing of important events in the 1600\u2019s and early 1700s. While this is a music class not a Western Civilization course, I still want you to get an idea of what was going on when composers like Monteverdi, Purcell, and Bach were doing their thing. If you see an event that you\u2019d like to learn more about, go to the Santa Ana College Library Encyclopedias<\/a> website, click on Encarta Concise Encyclopedia, and do a search on the event you\u2019re interested in.<\/li>\r\n\t
  2. Cultural Background<\/a>\r\n<\/a>This page contains a lot of information on the characteristics of Baroque music and instruments. Though I encourage you to read it all, I\u2019d like you to focus on the general historical and cultural background presented in the first several paragraphs (top of the page down to where it says \u201cThe Elements of Baroque Music\u201d). If you continue a little further down the page you can listen to excerpts of pieces of Baroque music. There is also (even further down the page) a great section called \u201cThe Baroque Musical Aesthetic\u201d which I highly recommend.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n
