Part Two: BAROQUE & CLASSICAL MUSIC—COMING INTO THEIR OWN
Classical music began to take shape in the Baroque Era (1600-1750) with masters such as Vivaldi, Bach, and Handel, and it really came into its own with the Viennese Classical (later 18th century) with Haydn and Mozart. We’ll dive into music from both those eras (and maybe a little later), expanding to composers beyond the usual suspects, including those of African heritage and from Asia.
