Musical Evolution by Music of the Spheres Music of the Spheres : Musical Evolution.
 Small baroque chamber ensemble.

"Musical Evolution" explores the language of Baroque music from its wild beginnings through the development of more formal structures still in use today. The wild improvisatory violin sonatas of the 1660's used richly colorful and dissonant harmonies and an unrestricted form, which allowed for an extremely wide range of expressive possibilities and experimentation that sound strange to our ears today. Throughout the 1700's, the sonata gradually morphed and crystallized into the symmetrical form exemplified by Georg Frieric Handel, Arcangelo Corelli and Antonio Vivaldi, who created the first harmonic and structural expectations which still govern our responses today.
