My sister said I looked like a German composer and musician of the Baroque period, especially when wearing my powdered wig... So I changed everything and it changed my life!

I haven't looked Bach since!

I would go Bach to the store so much, I would go baroque from spending so much.

What do you call an assassin from the Baroque period?

A Bachstabber.

We were learning about musicians during the Baroque era when someone stopped the class to ask...

"Sir, I can't really get a Handel on all of this, can we go Bach a bit?" I laughed, teacher rolled his eyes and kept talking as if it was never asked.

Gas prices are getting out of hand

There was an attempted heist at the art museum. It seems the gang was Baroque and needed Monet. But they didn’t buy enough of Degas to make the Van Gogh so they all got arrested.

More than 1 000 pieces of music by Johann Sebastian Bach have been preserved,

along with nearly 900 by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, nearly 400 by Johann Christian Bach, more than 300 by Johann Christoph Friedrich Bach, and nearly 200 by Wilhelm Friedemann Bach.

Together with as many as 200 more surviving compositions by other members of the Bach dynasty, scholars estimate that about 3 000 works are preserved in total, a collection that we today know as the Baroque Bach mountain.

With so much madness in the world today, I'm trying hard to Compose myself...

But I'm going to need a minuet to get a Handel on things, so please Holst on. There's no Haydn from reality, even if I can't stanza much more. I'm guessing the current madness originated in Britten - possibly during the Brahms age. Alas, I'm so Bizet writing my Chopin Liszt I will have to get Bach to you later when I'm Abel to compose my thoughts on how to overcome. GRRRRR.... I keep forgetting to purchase rainbow Schubert and must write that down. I also have to fix my microwave which Baroque earlier today when my son tried to Satie some vegetables. I do wish he would've refrained. Oh, I still have to go to the Barber as well. But, I digress... Once the madness calms down I hope y'all can Ravel in the moment. If you don't understand it, though, that's okay - it's all Grieg to me and I don't want to cause y'all any additional Strauss.

Did you hear that Bach was a great classical composer of interweaving repetitive elements?

I hear he was baroque all the time. It fugue-ures seeing how he was famous.

They only started selling music in the 17th Century.

It was during the BAROQUE era!

Dad joke in music class.

It was music theory day and we were identifying the period of music of a piece by ear when my teacher said, "If it isn't Baroque..." and I yelled "Don't fix it!" Groans.

What’s the only gift that’s better when you return or exchange it?

A smile!!! :)

But that’s also the only gift I can afford this year ....... what can I say, I’m a post-Renaissance man, baroque.

Happy holidays.

Dad likes art

My fiancΓ©e is building some custom frames for her capstone project. She's is going for a baroque theme and is planning on using them with some portrait shots she's taken over the past semester. They're primed white right now, but she's planning on painting them gold.

Me: "she's gonna paint them gold later."

Mom: "aww but I like the white!"

Me: "yeah but she's going for a baroque theme and that fits better I guess."

Dad: "well, if it ain't baroque don't fix it..."

So. Many. Groans.

My mom got me on this one about Shakespeare.

I was writing a paper about the Baroque era and asked my mom who passed by if Shakespeare was considered to be Baroque. She replied "I don't know, but he might not have had a penny to his name!"
