Document Summary
Duet: polyphonic (not singing the same part) Obligato oboe part (completely written out and very prominent) 1700-1750 = high baroque (bach in his maturity) Aria: larger group accompanying than a recitative has. Epigone = something that looks at the past. At his death (1750) the baroque period ends, however it really ended before that. He was writing baroque music until his death, however, while his sons were composing classical music. There is no composer more celebrated in the western world than bach. The new classical composers regarded polyphony as unnatural . Bach mostly wrote music for use (some sacred, mostly secular). Suite= multi-movement work, in which all of the movements are dances. It goes from the baroque period up until today! Sacred cantata: many movements all have singing in them, and they are all different. (don"t need to memorize the organization of sacred cantatas). Chorale: genre for congregational singing in lutheran worship.
