Listening Guide: Baroque

Apple Music Classical

Exclusive to Apple Music Classical, Listening Guide is your informative companion as you encounter landmark works of the Baroque era—while you listen, time-synced text appears seamlessly on your screen providing insightful commentary and context. Listening Guide is available in the latest version of Apple Music Classical. Here we offer some of the greatest works by three leading Baroque composers—J.S. Bach, Vivaldi and Pachelbel—for you to see how Listening Guide works. Discover how, in The Four Seasons, Vivaldi so vividly conjures the joys of spring, or the bone-chilling effects of winter. You can also enter the inner workings of Pachelbel’s Canon and Gigue, or get up close to Bach’s Cello Suite No. 1 to find out how he weaves such rich musical tapestries from one single instrument. Whatever your choice, Listening Guide makes exploring a great work an illuminating and exciting adventure.
