Baroque Music
February 17th, 2009 
I have iTunes, well probably everybody does. It is quite remarkable but I am not a collector of music. Not much anyway so I rarely use my iTunes on my computer. But talking to someone they told me about all the free radio stations that are on iTunes including a wide variety of classical music. I was stunned! Nice!
I cranked open my iTunes and browsed through the free classical music stations and there are quite a few of them. Anyway, I found a station that I really love and listen to while I am working. It is the Baroque music channel. It’s called “All Baroque Musick”. They also have a couple of channels that play all classical, Spanish, and Flamenco Guitar - which I also love!
If you are an audiophile then you are no doubt familiar with iTunes and if you are a classical music buff you are no doubt familiar with baroque music. But if this is kind of new to you let me give you a bit of an overview.
Baroque Music is music from roughly the period from about 1600 to 1750 which puts it after the Renaissance and just before the more modern Classical Music Period. It has a lot of wonderful music that is light and happy and a lot of music that is played on the harpsichord. Some of the major composers of the Baroque era include Handel, Johann Sebastian Bach, and Vivaldi.
If you are interested in listening to some music that has a real medieval and middle ages feel to it yet is quite beautiful I recommend you crank up your iTunes, go to radio stations and then select Classical - and click on All Baroque Musick. I love it and you might too.
If you don’t have iTunes you can get it for free here: Download iTunes8
