    How do we identify Baroque Music?

    Baroque music has been known to include the following traits.

    • Repetition - where a musical idea or theme is repeated throughout a song or part
    • Scales - A combination of notes that make up a Major or Minor key
    • Sequences - A sequence is the restatement of a musical idea at a higher or lower pitch in the same voice.

    Textures in Music

    • Texture - The number of musical ideas or themes being played at once

    • Baroque music often uses polyphonic textures

    • Polyphonic - two or more

    • Often this makes the music Contrapuntal - This is where both melodies are equally important instead of having one main melody.
