Baroque music (UK: / b ə ˈ r ɒ k / or US: / b ə ˈ r oʊ k /) refers to the period or dominant style of Western classical music composed from about 1600 to 1750.

The Baroque style used contrast, movement, exuberant detail, deep color, grandeur, and surprise to achieve a sense of awe. The style began at the start of the 17th century in Rome, then spread rapidly to the rest of Italy, France, Spain, and Portugal, then to Austria, southern Germany, and Poland.
