Baroque
Baroque music, which flourished between the 1600s and 1750, was like the musical equivalent of a peacock in full display—exuberant, ornate, and determined to be noticed. It features grand melodies, intricate counterpoint, and an enthusiasm for elaborate ornamentation that can make even the most stoic listener tap their feet or at least nod affirmatively.

This era also saw the emergence of the concerto and opera, proving that classical musicians were just as keen on drama as they were on sitting quietly with their sheet music.
