It features music of the Baroque era in the West and the East. The symphony is a multi-movement, multi-instrument, coordinated composition for an orchestra that has its origins in the concerti and opera overtures of the Baroque era, becoming an increasingly popular entertainment for the masses as well as the aristocracy and privileged classes during the Classical and early Romantic eras. The baroque era witnessed a flowering of the tilemaker's art, with vivid colours and wide ranging subject matter--religious scenes, plants, animals, people and landscapes--but the riotous polychromy of these was gradually overtaken by the more sober blue and white tiles that currently adorn so many Portuguese churches and public buildings. |
