Design For Media Final

For our design for media final, we were asked to, in a stylistic approach or compositional strategy, creatively interpret/portray/exemplify our assigned musical term. My musical term was Baroque. Baroque music describes an era and a set of styles of European classical music which were in widespread use between approximately 1600 and 1750. The word "baroque" means, literally "misshapen pearl." Baroque music expanded the size, range and complexity of instrumental performance, and also established opera as a musical genre. For my project, I chose a segment from an Opus written by Antonio Vivaldi. The piece is preformed with only strings, however baroque music normally tends to cover a wider variant of instruments. For my composition, I chose a simple black silhouetted theme for my instruments and scanned a piece of tea stained parchment to simulate old sheet music. The segment at the beginning features a line from the sheet music itself. If you'd like to learn a little more about Baroque Music, you can check out some of my resources here:
