Favorite time period?

I think Baroque was the highest pinnacle of artistic talent in general. Classical was too rigid, and Romantic composers, still guided by neo-classical aesthetics, were simply too emotive (although I think Wagner's operas were brilliant).

BAroque and a bit earlier. Tallis, Byrd, to Bach, Telemann, Vivaldi etc. Amazing era.

Well Classical for me.

I would certainly say the Impressionist era. Closely followed, almost tied with, the Baroque era.

Romantic & Baroque.

tossup between baroque and romantic, but I went with romantic.

I find it so interesting that the majority of you have voted Baroque. Would any of you like to share why that is your favourite?

I personally love the romantic period because the composers really started to experiment with the colours of the orchestra. Its magical....

The Baroque has it all.

It has the feel of a gracious by-gone age; the "multi-tasking" of counterpoint; the varied colour of traditional instruments; the liveliness and bounce of the culture at the beginning of the industrial revolution; the lack of overt sentimentality as a counter to today's X-Factor FaceBook strange set of values.

A Paradise.

I'm with the last. Calmness of a byegone time.

Baroque.
It reminds me of the two natures (two melodies) of Christ running along side by side as one piece.

I selected the option of "Baroque."

My favorite time periods are this one and any from which the great classics came.

And it's amazing! cause I thought baroque had the minority of votes, and I was wrong xD it's on the top.

Victorian. Why? Creepy, creepy children's rhymes (you know "ring around the rosie"? Yeah. About TB) and songs about syphillis.
