José De Larrañaga
Fray José de Larrañaga (17281806) was a Franciscan friar, organist, ''maestro de capilla'' of the Sanctuary of Arantzazu, composer, and was active in the Basque musical and cultural movement of the 18th century. Life Larrañaga was born in Azkoitia (Spanish Azcoitia) in 1728, and entered the Franciscan order as a young man. Although formal music in the Sanctuary of Arantzazu was still modelled on traditional Spanish models of Morales, Guerrero and Victoria, Larrañaga also had access to, and was influenced by the late Baroque Italianate style of Handel and Domenico Scarlatti. For example, the archive in Arantzazu contains two concertos by Handel copied in 1758. Despite his monastic status, Larrañaga was closely linked to the birth of the Royal Basque Society of Friends of the Country, a movement bringing Enlightenment ideas in science and culture to the Basque country. Larrangada was therefore one of the 200 or more individuals in the Basque country who between 1789 and 1794 we ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Basso Continuo
Basso continuo parts, almost universal in the Baroque era (1600–1750), provided the harmonic structure of the music by supplying a bassline and a chord progression. The phrase is often shortened to continuo, and the instrumentalists playing the continuo part are called the ''continuo group''. Forces The composition of the continuo group is often left to the discretion of the performers (or, for a large performance, the conductor), and practice varied enormously within the Baroque period. At least one instrument capable of playing chords must be included, such as a harpsichord, organ, lute, theorbo, guitar, regal, or harp. In addition, any number of instruments that play in the bass register may be included, such as cello, double bass, bass viol, or bassoon. In modern performances of chamber works, the most common combination is harpsichord and cello for instrumental works and secular vocal works, such as operas, and organ and cello for sacred music. A double bass may ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Rousseau
Jean-Jacques Rousseau (, ; 28 June 1712 – 2 July 1778) was a Genevan philosopher, writer, and composer. His political philosophy influenced the progress of the Age of Enlightenment throughout Europe, as well as aspects of the French Revolution and the development of modern political, economic, and educational thought. His ''Discourse on Inequality'' and ''The Social Contract'' are cornerstones in modern political and social thought. Rousseau's sentimental novel ''Julie, or the New Heloise'' (1761) was important to the development of preromanticism and romanticism in fiction. His '' Emile, or On Education'' (1762) is an educational treatise on the place of the individual in society. Rousseau's autobiographical writings—the posthumously published '' Confessions'' (composed in 1769), which initiated the modern autobiography, and the unfinished '' Reveries of the Solitary Walker'' (composed 1776–1778)—exemplified the late 18th-century " Age of Sensibility", and featured a ...
