Baroque music is the precursor to what we know as classical music. Baroque music was set between the period of 1600 and 1760 a roughly 150 year cycle. It introduced the notion of tonal functionality which can be defined as the relationship of a chord with other chords in the key.
Baroque is still utilized today and listened to. Known artist for this genre are Johann Sebastian Bach and Henry Purcell.
