Baroque music is principally [[church]] music, as most surviving manuscripts were written for the church.
Baroque music is principally [[church]] music, as most surviving manuscripts were written for the church.
Stylistically, baroque music often observes a strict or unvarying rhythm, and marked by an absence of modulation - the subtleties of [[crescendo]] and [[diminuendo]]. In this sense, baroque and [[hip hop]] have much in common. And extensive use of [[counterpoint]] - two or more music lines played against each other simultaneously, which is the defining characteristic of [[Western]] music setting it apart from Far Eastern, [[India]]n, and African traditions which are characterized by a more complex [[rhythm|rhythmic system]] and or a less developed [[harmony|harmonic system]].
