Baroque pop today

Modern baroque pop, characterized by an infusion of orchestral arrangements or classical style composition generally within an indie or indie pop setting, is also often referred to as chamber pop or chamber rock. This style, with clear indie-rock inclinations, uses additional members on in the band to create a fuller-bodied, more orchestral sound. Sometimes traditional pop instrumentation is discarded entirely. Many artists often highlight songs with unique instruments not found in most modern popular music such as the accordion or harpsichord. The writing style of the genre often has a distinct narrative quality to it and often makes references to history, literature, philosophy, and folklore.Many baroque pop artists of the past two decades include artists that are classified under several different genres including indie rock, alternative rock, folk, Americana, Britpop, psychedelic, and dream pop. Joanna Newsom is an example of baroque pop by definition; she is a classically trained harpist, and she plays harp on most of her recordings. Baroque pop displays much in common with post-rock[citation needed] but is generally more mainstream and less experimental.

Baroque Pop在60年代中期出現，這是一個包括Left Banke, the Beach Boys,　製片人Phil Spector和作曲家Burt Bacharach在內的藝術家開始把古典音樂的基本元素注入搖滾的時期，用以達到一個宏偉的管弦樂聲響效果有別於與單純搖滾那種原始的狂熱。分層的協調，排列和喇叭是所有巴羅克流行的特點，具有強烈音樂戲劇性的，生動的特點。在它剛開始形成的時候，它是搖滾成熟的產物，它的靈魂是建立在Philly所有７０年代早期的思想到９０年代中期chamber pop的思想上的。
