Describe The First Time Period

Decent Essays
The first time period was the baroque era, the pieces was piano and medium forte and moderato. The string players were popular and they were the ones in the front of the stage, which these instruments were very popular around this time. I also noticed that they were all in black suit attire. The next era was Classical and the first song was medium forte and allegro, but the second piece was forte and vivace. This is when the orchestra played over the choir, and it was okay.

    I think that this song was very different from the songs we listened to in class, which was kind of neat. There wasn’t a clear rhythm of sorts to this song. I felt like a lot of different things were going on and each instrument had their own parts going on. However, it all flowed together really well.
