As we saw, Vivaldi was the master of the concerto. And here's how it looks, here's how it looked in Vivaldi's day, with the girls singing and playing behind the screen. And note carefully the metal grill and the organ in the background. And you see the balcony here, the gallery. Now, we're going to take a look at, I guess, the North Wall. Here's the high alter of this orphanage, convent, music conservatory. An orphanage for girls who were trained specifically in music. Now we're going to slide a little bit to the right down the, the waterway here to this church, the Church of the Ospedale della Pieta, the Church of Hospice of Mercy. Here you see, San Marco in the very center there, and the Doge's Palace off to the right. He became an ordained priest but continued to develop a career as an opera composer and composer of instrumental music, and as a teacher. As you can see from the main points of this slide, he was born in Venice, reared around the church of San Marco, the Basilica of San Marco. As you heard with the opening slide here for this segment, we're going to engage now the first movement of Antonio Vivaldi's well known, The "Spring" Concerto. Finally, we'll wrap up the module with an introduction to music of the Classical Period, and who better to lead the way than the inimitable Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart? One might say that Bach was an idealist and Handel was a realist when it came to music, so we’ll look at how these personality traits informed each composer’s musical style. Next, Bach’s music will then be compared and contrasted with that of his exact contemporary and fellow German, George Frideric Handel. First, we'll get a chance to "live" during the Baroque period by taking a detailed look inside the life, career, and even home of Bach- explore where and how Bach and his family lived, discuss Bach’s music, and talk about the techniques of Baroque music as a whole. But what is a fugue and how did we get it? To find out, we enter the world of Baroque music and famed master of the fugue, Johann Sebastian Bach. Novelists, poets, painters, mathematicians, and even geologists talk about "fugue-like" structure in their media and disciplines.
