In the
arts,
Baroque is a period as well as the style that dominated it. The Baroque style used exaggerated motion and clear, easily interpreted detail to produce drama, tension, exuberance, and grandeur in
sculpture,
painting,
literature, and
music. The style started around 1600 in
Rome,
Italy and spread to most of
Europe. In music, the Baroque applies to the final period of dominance of imitative
counterpoint, where different voices and instruments echo each other but at different pitches, sometimes inverting the echo, and even reversing thematic material.
