Humanities unit 6 Discussion

Because the Baroque Period in braced so many facets of human expression, I think it is worthwhile for you to have a choice as to which area you would like to explore and share with the class.  There are three areas from which to choose.  

The first pertains to Baroque Music.  Enjoy a "Night at the Symphony" by listening to any of the selections from the ACTIVE LISTENING GUIDE in the MyArtsLab from Unit 6, or if you like, try any of the following as well:

 Johann Pachelbel's Canon in D Major 
 Handel's Messiah Hallelujah Chorus 
 J.S. Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor 
 J.S. Bach Air on G String 
 Arcangelo Corelli Sarabande 

The second selection pertains to Baroque architecture.  Stroll among the grounds of some of the most opulent palaces in world history and give your impressions of at least two of the following:

 The Catherine Palace - Russia 
 Versailles - France 
  The Vatican and the Pope's Residence 
 The Winter Palace - Russia 

The third option focuses on painting and sculpture.  Visit the following site on Baroque Art and choose from a wide range of Painting and Sculpture.  Identify to works you found most engaging and describe what about them you found most captivating.

 Baroque Art and Sculpture 

Keep in mind that you are required to have your original post on the discussion board by the end of the day Saturday and you need to read and reply to the posts of at least to other classmates by the end of the unit.
