Baroque Opera, Cantata, and Oratorio
Baroque opera, cantata, and oratorio developed in the early 1600s. Jacopo Peri's "Dafne" from 1597 is considered the earliest opera. Claudio Monteverdi's "L'Orfeo" from 1607 was the first opera still regularly performed. Opera flourished in Italy and France developed its own tradition with works including tragedies by Jean-Baptiste Lully. Cantatas were vocal pieces with instruments often for church, while oratorios were large musical compositions based on biblical stories for concerts. George Frideric Handel composed famous Baroque operas, oratorios including "Messiah," and other works during his career based in London.

Johann Sebastian Bach was a prominent German composer and musician born in 1685. He is known for mastering many instruments including violin, harpsichord, and organ. Throughout his career, Bach incorporated styles from Germany, Italy, and France to develop his own unique contrapuntal technique. He held several church and court positions where he composed extensively, including his Brandenburg Concertos and pieces for organ. Bach enriched classical music and was highly influential, with Beethoven calling him the "original father of harmony."
Culture and Music The Renaissance & The Reformation
The Protestant Reformation in the 16th century led to the development of new religious denominations that broke from the Catholic Church. These new denominations each developed their own styles of church music, most notably the German chorale style. The chorale style featured a homophonic texture with a melody in the highest voice accompanied by lower voices sharing the same rhythm. This style influenced hymns and part-songs and can be traced through Bach's chorales to influence harmony in classical and later music such as Christmas carols and popular music genres.

This Special Focus explores the concerto and the relationship between the soloist and the orchestra.
Search the Internet or the library for the term concerto. To narrow your search, you could type the words concerto and history (only sites with these terms are returned). Or look up appropriate phrases. Putting the words between quotation marks gives you information on the whole phrase (try pairing concerto with different words or phrase combinations, depending on your area of interest, e.g., Bach, "20th Century,” composing, Paganini, 1800s, soloist, exposition, symphony, history, etc.)

Trumpet Concerto in E-Flat Major, by Joseph Haydn
Piano Concerto No. 23 in A Major, by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Concerto for Orchestra, by Béla Bartók
Concerto Grosso 1985, by Ellen Taaffe Zwilich
Orchestral Concerto
The concerto grosso of the Baroque Period developed into the solo concerto of the Classical Period, and finally into the orchestral concerto as in Bartok’s Concerto for Orchestra (studied in Lesson 10). This work is called a concerto because of the soloistic nature of the instruments within the orchestra; it is in essence a return to the orchestral concertos of the Baroque Era. Modern concertos continued to experiment with different combinations of soloists and orchestra. The orchestra itself was also changing. For example, Arthur Bliss wrote a concerto for an interesting combination of piano, tenor voice, xylophone, and strings in 1933. Ellen Zwilich’s Concerto Grosso 1985 is another intriguing work written in the spirit of an orchestral concerto. There is no specific soloist; there are five movements, and the theme is based on a theme from Handel’s Sonata in D for violin. With this work, the term “concerto” seems to have come full circle from the Baroque Era.
Finally, the 1965 composition Piano Concerto, by Elliott Carter, integrates three contrasting elements. In this two-movement work, the orchestra and piano soloist are musically immiscible; there is, however, a concertino group of seven instrumentalists that acts as an intermediary between the musical ideas presented in the orchestra and the conflicting ideas of the pianist. Carter raised contrast to yet another level of complexity and intellectualism. The term “concerto” has remained fluid for centuries and continues to reappear as new forms in whi.

The main instrumental forms are concerto grosso and suite. Concerto grossos feature a small solo group contrasted with a larger tutti group. Suites are collections of dances in the same key. Examples of works in each form are provided.
Definition Of A Concerto
The document provides an overview of the definition and evolution of the concerto form from the Baroque era to the Romantic era. It discusses how the concerto originated in Italy in the late 1600s as a composition featuring contrasting sections for smaller and larger groups of instruments. A key development was Corelli's establishment of the concerto grosso format which alternated between a small solo group and full orchestra. The form then spread to other composers and countries and began to feature a wider variety of instruments beyond strings. Characteristics of the concerto continued to develop through the Baroque, Classical and Romantic periods.

His concertos followed the standard three-movement structure and greatly influenced later composers, with his Four Seasons being one of the most famous Baroque concertos due to its vivid musical storytelling of the seasons.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
