Baroque

Begin your journey into one of the richest and most diverse periods in music history. Let the spirit of Calm Radio’s Baroque music channel be the calming music soundtrack to a day at work, study, focus, or even as sleep music.

Many compositions that form the classical music canon of today are gifts from the Baroque period. Composers like Bach, Vivaldi, Handel, Monteverdi, Scarlatti, and Henry Purcell expanded the size, range, and complexity of instrumental performance, while also establishing mixed vocal/instrumental forms of opera, cantata, and oratorio, and the instrumental forms of the solo concerto and sonata.
