Concerts Across Time
After viewing a rock concert performed by Linkin Park from modern times and a performance of Marin Marais, Suite No.3 from Pieces en trio (1692) baroque music (performed in modern times). I enjoyed both concerts, but even not being a musician, rock music can easily be separated from baroque music. There are several large differences between rock and baroque. Although there are differences, rock formed as a result of Baroque and classical music; this occurred centuries after western music was created. Instruments used is one of the obvious differences between rock and Baroque. Before the discovery of electricity, instrument makers had to make instruments audible; lung power for wind instruments used to amplify sound. Today we have a variety of electric instruments. Most electric instruments depend on electricity to make their sound recognizable. The way the two music forms are organized can be a difference. Rock is typically performed with the classic setup of a singer, electric guitar, drums and bass guitar while baroque piano family and violin family are the instruments mainly used. Baroque music across time, which includes the medieval periods, renaissance, romantic periods all display musical similarities. The Baroque period represented the musical styles established during those times. During these times, music went along with the literature, architecture, and paining. Musicians during these times brought out serious emotions within their music. Baroque means extravagant, misshapen, and bizarre. It is speculated that during the early 80s to mid-90s, rock musicians were so inspired by this period. That oftentimes they dressed in a similar manner and copied many of the Baroque musical techniques that were used during that time. Rock musicians like Richie Blackmore and Yngwie Malmsteen have explored the music of the Baroque and classical periods and have brought new life to it. Songs like
