Baroque pop is a pop rock music subgenre spurred by recording artists from the United States and United Kingdom who infused rock and roll with elements of classical music.〔 Its height of success was in the late-1960s, with several prominent exponents emerging and/or incorporating the genre into their repertoire, including: the Beach Boys, the Moody Blues, the Beatles, the Left Banke, the Fifth Estate, the Rolling Stones, Love and Procol Harum. Baroque pop's mainstream popularity faded by the 1970s, partially because punk rock, disco and hard rock took over; nonetheless, music was still produced within the genre's tradition,〔 and it exerted an influence on subsequent movements such as Philadelphia soul in the 1970s and chamber pop in the 1990s, which both incorporated the spirit of baroque pop〔 while the latter contested much of the time's low fidelity musical aesthetic.〔 Since the 1990s, baroque pop has seen a revival; several prominent artists, such as Belle and Sebastian, Regina Spektor and the Divine Comedy, have performed or incorporated elements of the genre in their work. ==Terminology== The term "baroque rock" has been used roughly since 1966 to describe harder edged and less commercial music with similar influences.〔B. Gendron, ''Between Montmartre and the Mudd Club: Popular Music and the Avant-Garde'' (University of Chicago Press, 2002), p. 174.〕 "English baroque" is also used to describe British pop and rock music that made use of this style of instrumentation.〔R. Stanley, ('Baroque and a soft place' ), ''Guardian'' 21/09/07, retrieved 13/04/09.〕 "Chamber pop" or "chamber rock" are usually used to refer specifically to music that utilises the string instruments of chamber music and so can be seen as a sub-set of baroque pop and rock.〔 In classical music, the term "Baroque" is used to describe the art music of Europe approximately between the years 1600 and 1750, with some of its most prominent composers including J. S. Bach and Antonio Vivaldi.〔(Essentials of music: Baroque composers ).〕 Much of the instrumentation of baroque pop is akin to that of the late Baroque period or the early Classical period, chronologically defined as the period of European music from 1690 to 1760 and stylistically defined by balanced phrases, clarity and beauty, using instrumentation similar to modern orchestras.〔(Oxford Music Online 2 )〕 When applied to popular music the term has been used without much regard to these boundaries to describe the use of musical forms and instrumentation from a wider range of eras. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「baroque pop」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
