The baroque music period was from 1600 to 1750,it was a period of western classical music.
Ornamentation - sounds frilly, more notes to ornament the piece.(twiddly bits)
HarpsiChord - distinctive twang sound, because has a plucking mechanism unlike hammers in piano.
Lots of stringed instruments - violin, viola, cello
Organ
Flutes
Trumpets, horns
Smaller groups of instruments - chamber music
First time the style of opera was created (mixture of singing , instrumental music and drama - it's a play that is sung)
Jack - good information but spelling needs checking - Baroque, chamber music, opera. Also, Baroque was a period in western classical music (doesn't make much sense otherwise) Please could you do a quick edit!
