Music Evolved.

It came across my interest an early form of classical music, Baroque music. And pleasantly, i'm reminded of how all music as all things are, are essentially fluid, and dynamic.

It has influenced later music, and to my surprise, thanks to Wikipedia, Jazz. I quote:


The Baroque style of music shares many commonalities with jazz. In addition to the small ensembles that most Baroque pieces were intended for (during that time there was no feasible way of generating a 100 piece orchestra), similar to a jazz quartet, most Baroque pieces used a variety of improvisation on the performer's part. A very solid theory background was required to understand figured bass, a notational method for keyboardists to fill out and embellish a bass line. Most baroque music employed figured bass, and consequently no two Baroque-era performances of the same piece were exactly alike. In contrast to the music written during the Classical and Romantic period, which was usually quite complex and epic (given the birth of the symphony during the Classical period), Baroque music was usually very simple and somewhat predictable.[citation needed]
The most similar aspect of Baroque music and Jazz music is improvisation of the lead instrument. For example, in most Baroque vocal solo pieces, there are two verses. The piece is played/sung through once, straight through, and then played a second time, where the vocalist will improvise ornaments, grace notes and non-harmonic tones. However, in contrast to jazz, neither the original rhythm nor the original notes/melody are altered. Instead, they are appended with improvisation rather than changed with improvisation. Unfortunately the art of improvisation was lost during the classical, romantic and 20th century eras of art music,[citation needed] however they were "re-discovered" (as with the church modes) in jazz music,[citation needed] especially by Louis Armstrong, who some call the "grandfather of jazz".



Let us be unafraid in explorations, of voice, of guitar, of percussion, of all other instruments, of creativity, of composition, of arrangement, of new undiscovered territories... Pursuing the essence of Originality, through creation as well as in evolution.
