2. Handel

Baroque meaning

Baroque, derived from Portuguese (BARROCO), means "deformed pearl". European art from the early 17th century to the mid-18th century advocated magnificence and meticulous craftsmanship, which was different from the solemn, clear, balanced and harmonious style of the Renaissance. Now "Baroque" is no longer a derogatory term, but represents a style of music after the Renaissance.
