Diverse voices, speaking as one.
 
What makes the Baroque, well, Baroque? For 200 years, between the early 1600s and the turn of the 19th century, all the great powers of Europe were more or less equal — from armies and politics to religion and the arts. This was true in music as well, where each great nation found its own voice — distinct from the others, yet powerful enough to transcend the frontiers that drove their rulers to war.
