What is the doctrine of the affections?
a Baroque music idea that said music should make people feel emotions like joy, anger, or love. In the late 1600s, composers would write a whole piece of music based on just one emotion. The mood was set at the beginning and stayed the same until the end. This is different from later music styles, like Classical and Romantic, where a piece could have many different emotions.
What was the concept of internationalism?
it meant that different countries shared their music styles instead of focusing only on their own. Italian melodies, French dance rhythms, German harmonies, and English choral songs all mixed together to create a European style of music. This was different from later times when countries wanted to keep their music unique to their own culture.
