Patrons: Church & NoblesA

patron is a wealthy person or institution that pays for an artist or musician’s living so they can focus on doing their art.Since Medieval times, Churches and Nobles were the only patrons who paid musicians to create and perform music. Churches paid organists, choir directors, soloists and composers to write and perform music for their worship services

Nobles

paid musicians and composers to write and perform dance music for their

private balls and concerts

. Slide8

Entrepreneurial Composers Towards the end of the Baroque additional patrons began to emerge from the growing middle class.

Composers began to publish and sell sheetmusic books (mostly keyboard) for instruction and leisure.Instead of just performing them for nobles, composers opened

opera companies in large cities

, selling tickets to middle-class public.Slide9

Baroque TexturesMusical texture is the way the song’s different performers go together.Counterpoint

: When a song has multiple parts that are different but interact together. (A kind of polyphony)Example: Rose Red/Ah Poor BirdHomophony: When one or more parts play the melody and the other parts play accompaniment.

Example: “

Jesu, Joy of My Desiring

”Slide10
