The first half of the eighteenth century brought the final flowering of music in a style that later became known as the Baroque, a term borrowed from art history and originally pejorative in its suggestion of roughness and irregularity. The music of Handel, Johann Sebastian Bach and Vivaldi, leading composers of the late Baroque period in Europe, may seem now to be anything but this.
